Do you ever miss doing things that you may have done during your youth that you don't (or can't) do anymore? Do you miss certain places (if you've moved away like me) and certain people?

I usually miss the Philippines since I rarely get to go there, so it was great when I got the opportunity to go back (even if it was for a funeral) a couple weeks ago. Brings back memories, especially when I realized that everything looked almost exactly as it was 7 years ago when I left. 8(
 
I miss a lot of my childhood. I loved to go exploring and doing things that adults would go to the loony bin for. Life sucks :mad:
 
I missed my neighbors when I moved away from my hometown when I was 5...and then my best friend who lived behind me at the house we moved into. He moved away a while after. We still see each other, though not nearly as much. We used to play together in his backyard every day...and no one could separate us.

The world was more fun when you where 7 and didn't have to worry about anything but bees stinging you and getting your turn on the Super Nintendo XD
 
I miss living with my mother honestly. She has a bit of land and my childhood home is amazing; has all the perks. I use to go out in the woods behind her place and just lose myself in nature, I even went swimming in the creek that ran nearby but now things are busy and my mother has pushed me out and wants to only visit me, I can never go over there.
Oh well, that's life. </3
 
I miss Denmark a lot, specifically rural Jutland (I'm a country boy). I miss the fields and the forests and the shite weather and just being able to go out into the countryside and be alone with your thoughts for hours if that's what I wanted to do. I also miss the coming and going of the seasons. The seasons do change a little bit here in South Australia, but not nearly as much and not in the same way as they do in Denmark. I also miss my friends and family a lot as I haven't seen them in nearly 2 years now.
 
I miss sleeping in my stroller while my mom would tend to my every need. Portable nap-time is awesome!
 
I miss my childhood, I didn't have a care in the world, and all I did was play PSne with my uncle (the guy who introduced me to FFVII in the first place), I hardly see him at all these days, those days are long gone.

I miss waking up early on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and watching morning-time childrens TV, things like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, Biker Mice From Mars, etc were shown back in my childhood, now it's not as good, plus i've grown up, so I don't watch childrens TV anymore....It might sound silly, but I do miss doing stuff like that. Very nostalgic to think of.

Hmmmm, I also miss being aged 10-12, because those were the prime years that I was first introduced to Pop-Punk, music from bands like New Found Glory, Green Day, Saves The Day and many others, now I really love those bands, but thinking of those bands does remind me of being younger, I also started skateboarding then, with a lot of people I don't see anymore because they've all moved really far away, but yeah I miss those days a lot. Extremely nostalgic to think about. It's kinda sad, but leaves me feeling content at the same time.
 
i miss not knowing anything. Just wake up whenever and go outside untill it got dark out, or play N64 all day. Not a worry, or a care as to whats going on around you. Thats what i miss the most. No bills, worries, or just having to think of the future.

Anyway I regret nothing in my life, since it has been the road that has lead me to this point so far. I wouldn't change anything, even if I could of ended up knowing more about folks that I truly wish I did.

I have so many things I would relive though. I grew up a happy kid, I played most sports at an early age and the sport I miss the most is baseball. I want to go back to when we were all in the traveling allstar group and were able to stay at the marriot in Johnson city. I want to relive the damn innocence, call it crazy but when everything was new and interesting I was always so enlightened and intrigued. I miss hanging out with my bud Nick and going to Indiana w/ him and skiing for 5 straight hours. I miss hanging with my friend Sarah, who's real dad, got us tickets for at least 4 front row Vandy basketball games. I miss going and playing laser tag for my 13th birthday and then going to Hooters afterwards. I miss going to camp and building rockets/hiking/rock climbing/getting into shit. I miss living in Arlington, TX for 3 months when my mom was hospitalized for cancer at the Ft Worth hospital. I miss going outside and getting in fights with my brother from either him cheating in basketball or cheating in touch football. I miss the old days when NES came out, everything was so new and so many folks would get together just to see what it was all about.

I miss cookouts and bonfires where folks would just chill and stare into the fire and reflect. I miss going on 3 day back packing trips. I miss Fun Yacking the Ocoee River. I miss ping pong tournaments at my neighbor Frank's house. I miss going to the pull in the summer heat and playing wall ball with the buds. I miss doing stupid stuff with girls and getting caught by their sister/brother. Meh.. there's just so much I would relive.

My biggest thing I miss was going to Wyoming and living on a ranch for 2 weeks. Riding horses by day, and playing Pacman at a free arcade at night while the older fellas played 7 card stud. Catching my own bass and having it cooked in front of me. Seeing the Geysers at old faithful was pretty damn interesting.

I could go on and on and on and on.. but I'll stop there.
 
I miss a lot from my childhood. Not having anything to worry about as far as being an adult, sometimes going to school, some of the old cartoons I used to love that never come on anymore, and finally the arcade scene. There used to be many arcades around here but now all of them closed down and I am sad. Especially now when I actually have my own money and transportation I could just drive there and spend a few hours there if I could. It really is sad to see good stuff go away.
 
Oh wow, there is a lot that I miss from my child hood.

Childhood friends. The street that I grew up on had many kids. Every day I was out playing with someone. I had such great memories with all of them. My family unfortunantly moved away, as did many of the other kids in the neighborhood as time went. Many I have no idea where they are or what they are doing. Some live out of state and even across the country now.

Ozzie's Candy Store. lol. Close to my house, there was a convienent store that sold candy that my friends and I would walk to in the summer. When I was 13 it went out of business and was torn down. It felt like the end of an era when that happened.

The neighbor down the street. She was a very nice lady and never cared if we ran through her front yard. She would also talk to my friends and I when she was out working in her garden and we walked up to her. She has since died :(

My neighbors dog. My friends and I used to go over to their yard and play with their golden retriever. The dog was very sweet and playful. He has since died :(

8 and 16 bit era. well the Nintendo, super nintendo, and sega were my child hood. I kind of miss the days I would play them with my friends in the basement. We had so many games to choose from. The games were simpler back then, and we could just go from one right to the next with out worrying about saving or missing a huge plot point.

Nickelodeon. Well old Nick shows. I miss when Salute Your Shorts, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Alex mack, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Rocko's Modern Life, and among others were on TV. There's not even a hint that they once existed when you turn on Nickelodeon now.

The friend with the pool. In the summer, my friends and I spent practically every day at her house. Her pool was cool because it had a deep end and a diving board. And it was surrounded by a privacy fence.

Ok I won't make this too long, because this list could go on for hours! But it was a nice trip down memory lane :)
 
I miss playing FFX for the first time. I remember that shit being such and adventure, and it was hard since I played it as though it was the easy piece that was FFX-2. My brother and I just played it non-stop and we had a great time. It's usually things like that I miss: the good times~

Any good time that can never be repeated, really. That's what I miss.
 
I miss being younger sometimes.

Every now and then when things get tough with bills or cars breaking down (and you have to go and buy a new one) etc I just wish I could go back to being a kid for a day when I didn't have to worry about those sorts of things. Those were the sort of things that your parents worried about. =/

However, once I get out of that shitty mood and get over it I think about what a bad idea it was to want to go back to those days as a child. Those days in which everything you did was dictated by your parents and your freedom was very limited. >.<

But thinking back properly, the biggest thing I miss were our two week camping trips every year at Christmas time.

We'd go up the Sunshine Coast and go swimming, to the beach, see family etc.

Then as we got older, we wanted to do other things, like hanging out with our own friends and going out with them instead of family etc and that's when things stopped being as simple as they once were.
 
:hmmm:

Im with Nipper a little bit here, what I wouldnt give to forget all about FF and rediscover it! thats just 1 thing though, I miss the early 2000 mostly, it was the time of a lot of great Trilogies, Lord of the Rings The Matrix(ok not so good) Xmen, Star Wars not so good either, I had some where?

I guess I miss LOTR mostly and how everyone was into it, its feeling similar to being in the Garden on FFVIII for me.......I just miss the adventure of the time.
 
There are so many things I miss. I could say I miss the simplicity of my life when I was kid. I hardly worry and I don't stress over anything except the times when I break something in the house and I would have to tell my parents.

I miss going home early in the afternoon and watching cartoons. Back then, I followed a routine of my favorites, switching from Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and AXN (for the anime shows) from 2pm til 6:30pm. I also miss biking around the village, there's barely any more time to do that these days.

There wasn't much to get seriously worked up over, except for Math tests. Now it's all I ever seem to do. Life was better when I didn't have to juggle with thesis proposals, midterms and finals, social life/connections, extra-curricular activities, how you look, what you wear, money, and so many other things.

It's funny, I remember thinking then that I wanted to grow up already. Now that I have and I am, I'm wishing for the opposite. :rage:
