What People Miss Most About
Being Young
(age: birth-10)
1. Not having any responsibilities. Because it sux to grow up....you have to work and all that yucky stuff. Parents expect more from you.
2. I could say some very generic kind of answer that everyone will say, such as missing the carefreeness and the like, but i'll go with honesty this time and say i miss nothing about it. Because those were less than stellar years and the few good things that were part of my life then are still part of my life today, so i dont miss them because i still have them.
3. What I miss is going to McDonalds to get a Happy Meal, get my toy and that was enough to fill my stomach. Because now in order to get my toy, I gotta get a happy meal and other food which is annoying.
4. Innocence. Because a lot of the beautiful things I was taught to expect in life never really materialized and I was really crushed to learn what life is really about.
5. What I miss the most is someone taking care of me, mom and dad always made everything turn out right. Because we had no worries, they always handled everything.
6. I miss all the fun time I had going up in the mountains, camping trips, and most of all my family. Because, see we are not much a family anymore.
7.I miss age 8. Because it was my first rodeo.
8. The innocence of the times that they were, being able to trust anyone and everyone. Because I would like to be able to let my kids roam the neighborhood like I used to.
9. I miss mostly the freedom of not paying bills to just go outside and play football with my friends. Because today the world is much more complicated.
10. The thing I miss the most would have to be the fact that I didn't have any responsibilities and that I didn't have to worry about money or cars or anything like that.
11. My Mom...because she is dead.
12. Not having any worries or responsibilities that....'carefree' feeling, total freedom. Because I don't like to worry....or have a lot of responsibilities.
13. Having more attention. Because then I had both of my parents undivided attention and then they got split.
14. Being carefree with no worries. Because I have so much pressure and stress now that when I was young i didn't have to worry about all these things I have to worry about now.
15. What I miss most is the fun I had. Because I work to much to have as much as fun as I use to, I have child support to pay now and bills to pay so I don't have as much money to spend.
16. Not having my mind/conscience countradict my actions and thoughts. Because.. I miss the peace, constant mind battles is bad.
17. Getting in trouble. Because I used to be able to get out of it hella easy as a little kid.
18. Playing in the backyard with all my friends and the worst thing that happened was that one of us fell down, got hurt, then had to go inside for a bandaid. Because now we're older and two of them are missing because someone didn't have the sense to choose a designated driver.
19. Watching cartoons every Saturday morning, waking up at 6 AM just to make sure I didn't miss any of them. Because now not only am I too lazy to wake up at that time, but when I do, it's to go to work.
20. Stressing out over a 10 problem homework assignment. Because now I'm in college and not only do I have homework assignments that are much more than 10 problems, but sometimes I have homework assignments that are over 10 pages!!
