S*** made me hurt just now thinking about the good times, this is almost embarrassing to confess. What can I do about this?

For sure

31 here

Absolutely

I don't even think my childhood was all that great but s*** was just so much easier back then so I miss those days a lot. I'm still trying to figure out that second part lmao, I spend more time reminiscing about the past than I'd like to admit

Nah

Nooo lol

Yea somewhat. Like 13-17 was fun for sure.

I miss that a nigga was goofy and able to laugh about goofy s*** all day in school.

Which i still can do now so

More and more

Absolutely this like how s***ty can life be to wish to relive a meh childhood lol

Peep r/nostalgia

It hit different

arab kid growing up in nyc around 9/11 in the hood

not rlly

All the time

But I also recognize its over and time to move on but it's a struggle lmao

Life is good right now but yeah I do miss the simplicity of being 5-12

Yes

Deeply? No

My 14-17 years tho, i deeply miss them
I was crazy on bball, bicycle competitions, meaningless relationships, fun times all dat

Time is limited now & i miss the free part of childhood.

F***ed up. Hope no one physically tried you.

Um no, animal crossing new horizons next month

oh nah I got f***ed up

when I'd be 6-12 years old older people on my street or just in general blocks would hit in back of the head or just straight up jump and f*** me up

Sad af mfs pathetic heard stories about people literally fleeing the country or changing their appearance to avoid s*** like this

The no responsibility life
No bills
No stress

Yea snitching would made it worse so my parents couldn't really help and my older cousin who had looked out went away so I was pretty much alone with the problems

when I was teen/older tho it went away because I fit in by that point

Only miss the simplicity of it and the freedom.

I guess I just miss the happiness of it

Things are getting darker

Miss my childhood so much.

The happiness was real back then, stress/anxiety was non-existent, to a certain extent.
