...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) :[
being carefree and only having to worry about little things.
Getting home after school and rushing to the tv. Now it's just like, gets home, is so tired ... buttttt has to study even though I've been doing that all day.
Oh and when weekends were actually weekends and you got 2 full days off and didn't have to do anything you didn't want to. Now it's just working all day Saturday and then Sunday is doing assignments and homework.
I honestly just want to be a kid again. I used to get up every morning at 6am to run downstairs and watch Pokemon on TV and I'd be so upset if I woke up late and missed it that I used to set an alarm even on weekends. Now some mornings I can't get myself out of bed even to go to work or college which I have to do.
I miss having time to do things I enjoy. Like now it's wake up > get ready > college > come home > revision and whatever ("whatever" meaning habbo probs) > eat > sleep. I miss running home from school as a child so I'd be home in time to watch as much of Arthur as I could manage, or playing out in the street after school with the boys who used to bully me because I was a girl but now they all stare at me in wonder for the same reason (h)
Or the fact the holidays seemed to last forever and ever and I'd do something exciting every day, and I'd want to go down and play in the park or visit a museum or something. I used to have these days in the holidays where my mum wanted a rest so my dad would take me out on a day just the two of us to the Science Museum or the Natural History museum. And my mum would pack us healthy sandwiches for lunch so we'd throw them away and go and buy chips. But all that's gone now.
Goddamnit this thread has made me think about everything which I don't do for a reason ;l and now I'm sad
I miss being able to do things that you would never get away with at 18+ that when I was a child I could have easily done. I also dearly miss being able to live life without the worries of exams/assignments. Life was just so much easier as a child.
I really do miss when everything was just pretty colours and I didn't understand all of the icky life stuff. I miss when my family was still together too.
Christmas, definitely.
How simple it was. No responsibility etc it was great!
Hey @mrwoooooooo; what did you find so funny?
Did you not have a good time in school, no friends and a bit of a loner? Poor you xx
Aye, belief in Father Christmas is another one.Quote:
