Though I had some truly miserable childhood years, there's so much of it I do miss.  What I appreciate most now though was not having to work to eat and getting nearly all the toys I wanted   ...  Still, isn't a twenty-four-year-old far too young to be nostalgic?

Yeah, I only grew up in the 'eighties, so I might be part of the younger generations that some of you think have missed out.  But I'm glad I missed the 'fifties and 'sixties, frankly - sexual repression, rock and roll was bad for you, segregation, paranoia, Vietnam, the Cold War, institutionalized misogyny and racial hatred, etc.

The past, and childhood, is often prettier in the rear-view mirror than it really was.  Especially if you were fortunate enough to not really have to deal with the worst parts.  So, while I sometimes miss playing in a sandbox with my cousin and racing Matchbox cars and sneaking off school grounds with my friends at lunchtime, I'm glad childhood is over.  I like the adult me and the life I get to enjoy in this early 21st century, and this world with its mix of futurism and nostalgic holdovers, cell phones with 'net access and small towns with the name of the local high school team on the water tower.  There are things I've known since childhood that I wouldn't trade for the world.

So, heck with yesteryear.  I hang on to plenty of mementos, sure, but I've gotta figure out what the hell I'm gonna do tomorrow.  'Cause it might be really good.

BTW, **DONOTDELETE**'s excerpt of Paul Harvey was excellent.

Some days I wake up and question how adult some people really are.

:sigh:

I'll tell you what I miss.  Being allowed to get a hard-on when I happen to see some young woman who could conceivably still be in high school but is nonetheless bountifully, tee-stretchingly "physiologically mature", without being immediately thought of as a pervert or ped- urm, uh, you know, that banned word that's Latin for lover of children.

Those were the days.

Those were the good old days of perving at EVERYBODY.  

but i know what you mean mermet, it felt like a time of so much sexual opportunity. However lets be honest, when we were 12 none of us had the sexual capacity to act on our perving.

Childhood was great.

Looking forward to school and holidays.
Feeling nothing but pure affection for people.
Holding onto my dads legs when dogs/big men/big lorries went past.
Falling asleep in the attic room.

Not having to get up in the morning, but still getting up really early.

Loved this thread! Utterly loved it. I hope JustMeMike won't mind, but I've forwarded the initial post to a few friends.

I'd like to offer as my own contribution to the thread this link to some Cult TV theme songs that might make some of you (Americans and Brits mainly) nostalgic for the fantastic TV shows they don't seem to make the like of anymore.

http://tv.cream.org/specialassignments/themes/1.htm

Personal note. One of my earliest memories is watching "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" with my Dad and realising that the people on the telly were talking like my family did.

A repeat of that show was the last TV programme we watched together. I still can't hear the "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" theme with dry eyes *sniff*

Cheers

Ahhh, thanks for the link, Smiley! Happy to see that someone over there is taking TV themes seriously.

It's a shame that they've fallen out of favor lately. Takes time away from the commercials...
