so, what are some things you miss from your past? like your childhood for example.

from my childhood i miss all the good tv shows that never air anymore and i took for granted...?

i also miss going to my grandma's house every day in the summer up until i was about 8 or 9, and walking to the plaza and her buying me candy or something when we were coming back, or just staying there and going outside to play. :P
i drive by there sometimes and just think "damn, i wish i was 8 again." i actually just miss that general area and all the memories associated with it because that's where i spent most of my childhood.

so, your turn.
 
Everything, actually. I had a pleasant childhood even if we were poor most of the time. I kinda miss having fun with my brothers, we don't really hang out as much as we used to.

Another thing I miss is the innocence of everything. Ever since 9/11, the world had slowly been changing. Just listening to the radio today, I only felt sadness for knowing that there really is evil in the world, even though everyone needs to know this, and that it's just going to get worse. It hurts to be an adult.
 
I miss being the awesome bowler that I used to be. I miss playing in the county's soccer league. I also tend to miss the oldd family reunions.

But most important, I miss the old days, when I was travelling most of the USA and Canada, I want to do that again so bad
 
I miss the 90's so many things going on, no 3D crazed movies, Pokemon was just coming out, I was like 10 or 11, some of my best Christmas where in the 90's halloween used to be fun too, after 9/11 everyone everywhere became paranoid, those terrorist certainly succeeded in making America less fun though it wasn't just them it was us giving in, oh well.
Further back one thing I miss is going to posadas with my my cousins in Mexico and hanging out with my family, now my cousins all hat each other for one reason or another I was kinda like a peace keeper, but I hate them too now, so get togethers aren't going to happen any time soon.

I think it was just because most of us, when 9/11 happened, were mainly old enough to at least understand what was going on. I had a friend who's a native New Yorker, so after the attacks, she matured rather quickly. And she actually knew who the enemy was long before I ever did, and even then, I couldn't quite grasp the importance of this until Saddam Hussein started coming into the news. Since then, the world steadily grew darker.

Family is another thing I miss. I used to be close with one of my cousins, but she wanted to grow up really fast. So by the time we were in our teens, we grew apart, and she just changed drastically. Now she's eighteen with a baby on the way, and she can hardly hold down a job right now. I worry about her, but I can't bring myself to talk to her. That, and I found out my uncle's a jerk, and one of my grandparents isn't a good person. And he's dying of cancer, but though we'll feel upset at his passing, my parents will be all "That's that" and let it be.

It's sad how the older you get, the more you know about your family and extended family than you want to know.
 
I miss the time before all the family drama here =/
And when there was a (fairly normal) government.

Oh and when I wasn't locked up at school (aka being a boarder)
 
I remember ordering pizza from Domino's near my home. Last year it was moved, I was so sad to see it go. It was one of my favorite pizza places.
 
I miss an old relationship I had back in my Sophomore year of high school. My first love~

Listening to old songs, seeing pictures, going to some old places... all of it brings back memories. I'm not sure if it's terrific that I had so many great memories with her if having them resurface everywhere I go only causes grief for me.

Even new memories I'm making (specifically with music) make me think of her. I heard American Idiot: The Musical's reprise of "When It's Time," and immediately thought of her. I hadn't even gotten the soundtrack until a few months ago.

Ah well.

Other nostalgic things (from my actual childhood, not my high school career)--hearing old music related to things like Beyblade or Digimon. Both of those things are very nostalgic for me. Playing on my elementary school playground after five years of not even setting foot there. Buying a Happy Meal at McDonalds. Going through stockings on Christmas morning.

I live for nostalgia, I've discovered.
 
I miss the inocence of youth.

My mother did a fantastic job at keeping all the dark secrets about a certain side of my family kept secret. It isn't until recently that I have begun to see what kinds of people that particular side of the family really are.
 
Oh, Jesus.

Playing with Dragonball Z action figures outside on warm summer days with my friends.

Having sleepovers and exploring the woods and condo with that same friends. Looking up to him and wishing I could be just as cool.

Playing Four-Square at recess during my Elementary school days.

Playing with the class Rabbits in sixth grade.

Awkwardly asking out a crush in the seventh grade. It didn't go well.

The same as the above in 8th grade. It didn't go well.

Man, every time I go into my old home town. I get a burst of my childhood, and I wish I didn't have to worry about getting a job or going to college. I wish the world wasn't as hard as it was, and I wish media competetion didn't exist and it pains me to always think that companies and gaming corporations and businesses just don't care about you. They care about making a profit. It pains me to think that everyone can be driven to do bad things, and that no one is as safe as they would like to think they are...

Man.
 
i think the things i miss most about my life is the time period between kindergarten and 8th grade (before I moved).

We lived in a poor dangerous neighborhood (had 10 locks on the door), but it was a "diamond in the rough" so to speak.

i lived in an apartment on top of a large hill which kept away any floods. not too mention it was awesome riding bikes down it and trying to stop before the street.

i had a playground across the street, and despite the vandalism, was a great place to spend with friends.

i remember walking 2 miles to get to school every day, which was awesome cause i got more time to hang out with my friends. after we moved, we weren't even allowed to walk to school when it was 10 minutes away.

we also had a library down the street which was packed with books. i remember my bros and i would ride our bikes down during the summer and spend time reading while my mom was at work. it was cool too, because the summer reading program ordered pizza after reading a certain number of books, so we got pizza like every week during summer vacation.

another thing we had was a recreation department. since my mom worked alot growing up, she didnt want my us to be couch potatoes. spring and fall we got to pick 1 sport to play, and during the summer, we picked an activity. i've done things like sailing, tennis, soccer, ice skating, even met flo-jo when i ran track.

halloween was also amazing (except for 1 year). during halloween, my bros and i would come home with huge bags each filled with candy. we raked in so much, we typically made 2-3 trips home just to empty them. my littlest bro went out this year and he barely brought home a full pail sized bucket.

i know people think that nostalgia is just looking at the past with "rose colored glasses", but my past was a lot more enjoyable than my present. Being an adult sucks, especially when you start growing up and you hear words like "budget cuts" and you realize that giving your future children the kind of childhood you had may be more difficult than you would like.
 
Back when-

What the hell is this shit?!
 
I'm quite the opposite of nostalgic. I look forward to the future, because both my childhood and teenage years weren't good for me. I was bullied and exiled by my peers... I had family issues... I'm hoping that all the really painful stuff happened earlier on in my life and I actually make friends and enjoy myself in years to come.
