“Those two month long summer vacations where you get to do whatever you want, guilt free, no responsibilities, to the point where you don’t even know what day it is anymore.”
“The sheer excitement we got out of mundane things. When I was younger I remember getting pumped about the fact that mom was going to make some homemade play-doh so I had a new awesome toy that day. Or going on a road trip in the summer cause that meant we got to have Mcdonalds.
The joy I found in all of those small things when I was a kid that I take for granted now, I try to be mindful of it, and I still find joy, but it will never be the same.”
“Running out the door with nothing. No wallet, cellphone, keys or plan. I think Bill Burr had a bit about this in one of his stand up specials.”
“Christmas mornings. Even though I knew “santa” was my dad, the feeling from seeing a huge present in the morning is unforgettable.”
“I miss the summer holidays where it was possible to go on a new “adventure” everyday. There were no bills, big decisions, or work to deal with.”
“Making friends. As a kid, you could just go to someone and ask: “Do you want to be my friend?” I still have that one true friend since age 5.”
“Drifting from one day to the next without having to make big decisions. I’m only in my 20s now but finding myself having to make those ‘life-changing’ decisions far too often.”
“Jumping on my bike, grabbing a few friends and spending the entire day exploring. No plans, just go from place to place until we’re hungry or tired, then go home. Next day, repeat.”
“I could eat everything and anything and remain skinny. Now I gotta workout on the regular just to remain un-fat.”
“My vivid imagination. I lost it somehow.”
“Not caring about how I looked. Just wearing clothes because I liked them. When you were young no one scrutinized your looks as heavily as you do when you get older.”
“Waking up on Saturday to some awesome cartoons!”
“How rich you felt when you got a 20 dollar bill. A twenty just really isn’t that much anymore.”
“At the risk of sounding sappy, innocence and naivete. I miss the sense of knowing that people were good and that the world was safe.”
“That feeling when you’re pumping your legs as hard as you can, getting higher and higher in the air, and the elation when you hit as high as you can go on the swings. It’s just not the same as an adult!”
