I literally miss those times, when I was still a child. It’s very nostalgic
I watched some videos about early 2000 and it’s so nice… I remember even the grass seemed greener.
Literally zero problems egzisted!
I played outside, had tons of friends, ate lots of pizza and played GTA San Andreas or Sims 2. We spend most of the evenings outside while talking tons of nonsenses and shared ideas about our future. 
Do you miss your childhood?

In a way I do but not really. I remember being really bored or playing starcraft all day everyday for weeks. I’d like to be 16 again tho

I miss being younger and healthier, but not being a child or a teen. My youth was nothing but poverty and abuse.

Nostalgia is super powerful
I have lots of memories of nostalgia, most attached to video games
My favorite memory was watching the intro of Final Fantasy 3 (6) on my Super Nintendo at age 10 in my bedroom before dinner while my mom was making mac and cheese downstairs in the kitchen. I was so hyped up by that intro!

Sorry to hear that @anon82948922
I do miss living in the 1980s. There was some abuse and neglect, but I was overall happy. My parents were abusive alcoholics and we moved in 1989 to a new neighborhood. I was taken out of a nice school and put into another school where I was bullied and ridiculed from seventh grade on. It was really bad in middle school. I developed chronic depression. I hated school after that.

I miss parts of my childhood. The trauma and abuse not so much. But I would like to experience life without any bills. And playing. God I miss playing. I wish it was socially acceptable to play as an adult.

No. I had a very abusive father and I was severely bullied.
My father kept moving us out into more rural areas, so I was an outcast and never given the chance to try and fit in with my peers.
And I got involved with a 22 year old guy when I was 15 and he was horrible. He worshipped the ground I walked on, and in my young brain, the positive attention was addictive.
I just turned 53. The farther I get from childhood, the better.

I miss the years before starting boarding school at 8 years 5 days old. The beach hut on stilts at Pattaya before the area got commercialised. My mum angling. Me looking for seafood . I no doubt moved to the rhythm of a different beat even then, but I was quite happy . Then on Jan 20 1965 I started 10 years at prep then public school. An experience that has had and continues to have a bad effect on me. I try to avoid thinking about it as much as I can, but random things can bring emotionally painful memories to the surface. I started crying as I thought of writing this reply.

I been remembering without the yearning for the past feeling.
Like remembering my past dogs, and how happy they were and all the times I had with them. I try to remember them everyday.
I don’t miss my childhood. I have vivid memories of good things about playing in the streets and life was carefree, walking to to the liquor store to buy candy and playing jump rope.
But some bad things, like being embarrassed about being poor, etc.
I like being an adult tho.

I miss my childhood. I had dreams of being a Scientist and Pianist. I’ve failed academically but I am good at music production so I guess little me would be happy.
When I was young life was simple. Just school, cartoons, playing games. PS2 and Dreamcast were my childhood consoles. I was a happy kid.
I miss my childhood, grew up in the 90’s… Playstation 1, nintendo 64, playing with lego. Making guns out of toiletpaper rolls and having battles with friends. Early internet was the best, watching flash movies on the web that I probably wasn’t allowed to. Using the break time in elementary school to draw with a friend.
Oh, and having sleepovers!! Sleepovers and watching movies and dicking around.

i have a few very vague memories of it, its a bit of a blur tbh
My whole childhood, youth, and young adulthood was a big, long, chaotic mess of abuse and dysfunction.
I thought about this recently. I had a pretty good time growing up. Had a lot of freedom and got into a lot of things. It’s kinda weird but these past couple years I think I can say I don’t miss it or it’s not sad to think about how good things were. I just look back and am kinda proud about all the stuff I did and friends and good times we had. I don’t have the energy to do it all again. I don’t miss it but I’ll look back on it happily. When I was your age and into my early 30’s I definitely missed and yearned for that time again.
My childhood was great. But my teens was horrible. I was bullied.
