I do, and sometimes I wish I could get that version of myself back - it's been gone since I was like 12 or 13.

Though my childhood wasn't the best, I miss feeling happy, finding immense joy in simple things, and having a great amount of kindness in my heart for everyone I met. I also had confidence in myself and my abilities.

I could simply draw or read for hours on end and feel ... content. I didn't have snarky or bitter comments towards other people expressing love or happiness.

Sigh.

Just the illegal things. Like throwing rocks at cars. If I did that today, I would face some serious jail time.

Sometimes, because I believed I would have a wife and kids someday. Now I'm a grown man who has failed to achieve that goal.

I miss high school a lot. It's the perfect age where you're old enough to do adult shit, but still young enough to not have any real responsibilities. I feel bad for those people who had bad high school experiences and say shit like LOL HIGH SCHOOL SUCKED!

At least you didn't have a spouse who left you. That's a real kick in the groin to your self esteem.

I dated a girl off and on for 6 years. She dumped me for some guy at work. Close enough.

Fuck no, I can't imagine how anyone would unless their childhood was great and adulthood has been unfulfilling or miserable in some kind of way.

Like the only benefit to being a kid was no responsibilities. Being an adult is great. You can drink, you can drive (not while drinking lol), you can travel, you can buy pizza whenever the fuck you want. It's awesome man

I loved high school. No bills to pay, no job to worry about...if I needed something I just told my mom and didn't worry about where the money was coming from. Lots of friends and always fun things going on.

Eh, missing your childhood doesn't necessarily mean you want go go back to it. Like, I miss my hometown sometimes but I wouldn't want to move back there.

Not really

I'm pretty happy with my lifestyle right now other than getting taxed so hard as a contractor that it makes my ass bleed

I can understand having nostalgia, but I don't miss being a kid at all.
