I wish I could get the Christmas Eve feeling back. Other than that, no, not really.

I miss the amount of free time I had, I miss how accessible my friends were, I miss how easy school was and the number of breaks we got, and I miss being able to do things like wander around shooting invisible enemies with an imaginary ray gun (I get funny looks these days when I do this. People can be so cruel.) But none of those were feelings.

I suppose if there is one thing it's the lack of potential. At the age of eight you really do believe that it's possible for you to be an astronaut, a spy or anything else you want. At 34, your career and lifestyle options are limited and come with drawbacks that you can see immediately.

Unfortunately as we grow older and become more responsible, work hard, pay bills, become parents etc, we forget how to be a kid. The great thing though, is as you have experienced your childhood, you can bring back these feelings if, now indeed you want to.

I am 36 and still feel 17, I act like a big kid when i want to and also realise my responsibilities at the same time.

There is a theory, kicking around in this universe that we as humans have 2 minds.

1) a conscious mind
2)an unconscious mind

Your conscious mind deals with all your conscious stuff, and you unconscious mind deals with things like breathing, heart beat, keeping you alive when you are sleeping etc.

Now the theory says your unconscious mind never grows up more than 7 years old.

So i guess what I am trying to say is listen more to what is said and goes on inside yourself and you will all, now, begin to find those childlike feelings you experienced all those years back.

Take care.

Yes, I did miss childhood feelings since I lost the happiness and brightness of childhood in such an emotionally abusive environment and I had to deal and swallow dreadful emotional violences since I was a kid already.... But I can't turn back time and change my past at all. Somebody can?

Sometimes. The good feelings, that is. It's been a long time but those emotions are like still waters and do indeed run deep! You don't necessarily wish to be a child again, but the emotions of safety or wreckless abandon are comforting and we miss those emotions. Hopefully, you will find a life style that brings those same emotions you miss back to you again. It can happen. And remember that emotions are ever-changing and they will continue to come and go like the tide. Good Luck!

Childhood feelings...somewhere around my 30th birthday, I realized that inhibiting my feelings was inhibiting my happiness. Since then, I've allowed myself to simply be me, so in a way, I'm back to the childhood feelings of freedom without fear of being judged. Why should I hide who I am and how I feel? When did having emotions (and we all have them) become a bad thing to express? (in society, that is)

I used to miss my childhood tv programmes. I thought they were much better than anything that was out now... that was until I decided to sit through a few episodes of button moon.

Somethings are better off left as good memories.

No! because at the age of 38 i have still held onto them...to live your life fully you should always hold onto that sense of wonder and greet each new day with a sense of anticipation and excitment....every day is a new adventure in my eyes! i do find that having children helps you to retain thoses feelings so i now have the best of both worlds the independence of adulthood with the joys of childhood.....long may it last

I miss the freedom of having no (serious) responsibilities.

And I vividly remember being about 10 and thinking,

"I'll be glad when I'm grown up so I don't have to worry about money!"

Boy....if only I knew....
