...about being a kid?
Just mentioned to someone that your birthday is like a normal day when you're a certain age and it made me think about when you're younger and you go to parties with the goody bags. So what do you miss most about being a kid (doesn't have to be about birthdays)? I miss being able to go to the wacky warehouse lol I loved that place.
no responsibilities, free food, being able to watch disney and for it to be acceptable
had the best place called jungle mania where I'm from, so sad it got closed down, top birthday parties happened at that place.
also remember the excitement of hitting the big 1-0 as double figures was so old and grown up, when your double that age now its just depressing.
I miss school. I miss laughing every single day, I miss memories in school, I miss teachers, I miss the buildings... I miss it all.
It's gone forever and it kills me.
Simplicity. Though, this pretty much only exists looking retrospectively since I thought multiplication would be like the hardest thing I did. I was going to put division instead but I actually found that easy at that age unlike most. But I could appreciate how both that and life in general was easy. No bills, no arguments, no worries. Just Habbo all day and night :¬:
definitely having no bills and having somebody to cook my dinner and have someone to mind me hahah
I think the thing I most is not paying bills! However, cooking for myself I was already use to with doing chores for myself :P

Great thread btw O.P :)
Just the general sense of wonderment when something completely new comes your way - physical, emotional, whatever, learning really is amazing and that's why I try to continue my education as much as I can in any way I can. I've always been someone who loves to learn and I imagine I always will be, but the things I learn now are refinements of things I already know mostly, and I miss the innocence of childhood where it's possible to have your entire world blown apart by someone telling you that water goes up into the sky or something like that
I miss my childhood home, I miss my brothers being home, I miss the hard times, I miss the times of having 0 bills, I miss the easiness. The funny thing is my family came to the USA in 2000 and 15 years later I find myself moving back to my hometown of Halifax NS, Canada 15 years later.
School, I miss school and being relatively carefree and having no worries, a routine and a decent social life with my friends. I have none of that any more, I hate getting old(er) :[
