What do you miss about your childhood?

when I was a kid my mom used to bring me to all sorts of random countries. I went to like 20 or 30 different countries, from Australia, to Egypt an Turkey when I was between like 4 and 10, and I don't really get to do that anymore.

 

I missed that day's freedom and enjoyment with any tension. In childhood, we were take all things positively. That time gaming also missed.

 

getting a gallon of gasoline for the lawnmower @ .90cents..

 

Friends, no responsibility, beautiful teachers, etc...

 

Getting ice cream with my dad. I felt like I was at the top of the world when my dad would take me out for ice cream.

 

Less responsibilities. Also, eating my favorite snack foods after school.

 

No bills to pay, no clean-up to do, no clothes to fold, no heavy responsibilities coming from having loved ones relying on me to get their daily needs met and just wanting and needing me by their side so much (although at the same time this last one makes me feel loved very much)... all I needed to do was being awesome and everything was ok.

 

unremitting joy

 

I mi$$ how good food used to be!!

NOW ITS MOSTLY TASTELESS GARBAGE!!!!!!

 

I'm sure if you found some food from the 80's it would be TASTELESS GARBAGE!!!!!! by now also... Just sayin'

 

I don't miss very much about my childhood. It was pretty tough and I spent most of it trying to get away from it. I don't even remember a lot of it. But if I had to pick something...I would say I miss my dad who was in no way responsible for the shit that happened. He was possibly the greatest person I've ever known and I miss him dearly.

 

I've been thinking since my last post...how do I not remember so much...like..years? I remember some things. I remember more if I really try to. But much of it is like it never happened. It's a void. Maybe my brain doesn't want to remember. I wish I could remember the good things.

 

Lying on top of a Haystack all day just looking at the sky ! coming home when it got dark shoes squelching because Its always better to go through a stream than round it ( and that's what Roman soldiers do )
Dinner dried up cos I forgot to come in at dinner time , wasn't gonna kill me missing a meal
Me and my brother fighting all the time , But let anyone else try to hurt one of us !!
Most of all having a hot bath and going to bed and listening the hot water tank filling up ( it was in a cupboard in my room ) and feeling so safe and cosy that nothing in the whole world could ever bother me or my family

 

I miss being happy

 

I hear ya!!!

WITH ALL THE GARBAGE IN THE WORLD NOW,ITS HARD TO BE!!

 

Going to my Grandparents house.

 

Why aren't you happy?

 

I miss having no responsibilities.

 

I miss the good days!!!! (When everything was GOOD (Before the 80s (80s is when it started going downhill)))

 

i've never had any trouble thinking back about it. and there is nothing i miss about my childhood at all.

but there are a LOT of things, i miss about the world my childhood grew up in.

the level of public transportation that existed was the main thing.

that there were fewer people and more interesting places to walk without getting in trouble for doing so.

so many more things people were allowed to do for themselves, knew how to, and did.

and in their own creative and imaginative ways.

i miss THOSE things. but there's nothing in my own personal individual life as a child, unique to me and my experience of being and living as a child, that i miss at all.
