I sat down on the swing like I always use to, and everything came flooding back just as the tears came flooding out. I remembered my whole life before the summer and the new school year and all the crazy daydreams stored in the seat of my swing. I pushed my feet against the ground and started to swing. I tried to forget everything and just remember my silly day dreams. There was one problem though, the things I was trying to forget patched up the empty holes of my day dreams.
Its just the start..I am kinda stuck.

Alright thanks.
In the first sentence "use" should be switched to "used" and, if it were me, I wouldn't use "flood" to describe both your emotions and tears. Use a synonym. When the verbs are that close together it's not a useful parallel structure so much as repetition, so it kind of loses it's effect. Same with "swing" and "daydream," using a synonym can make the illusion that much more vivid, since the reader has more words to associate with the imagery forming in their heads. I find that sometimes when I use a synonym instead of repeating the word it also links my thoughts to other scenarios that the new word reminds me of, or something of the sort, so a continuation topic is that much easier to find.
Just my two cents! I'm new here, so just browsing really.
