I miss being a child. Share positive childhood memories anons.

Most of my memories can only be expressed as bullet points, rather than stories.

>Being in school on a Friday, standing around all your friends and waiting for the bell to ring

>Still believing it was Santa who brought the Game Boy Advance and Pokemon Crystal

>Being unable to sleep, so getting up and watching TV with the volume at 1 so you didn't wake anyone up and being up that late made it seem like you were in an alternate world

>When it was Summer and just watching TV all day felt kind of like an adventure of its own

That's acceptable as well :)

All I really remember from being a child was thinking it'd get better once I was an adult.

It didn't.

I was molested by my uncle

I remember one time my dad came home and my mom said to him, 'is there anything you won't drink?'. He said 'poison, I'm saving it for you!'. Good times.

>>When it was Summer and just watching TV all day felt kind of like an adventure of its own
fuck yeah

I remember being told that life is better as an adult - regardless of me being a NEET for 8 years, I don't really look at anyone's life with envy because I still think childhood is the best it can get.

>first christmas gift from santa

I regret playing so much vidya in my youth and missing out on growing up properly but I guess it was nobody's fault.

Looking back at it, I know I was a relatively obedient, well-mannered child, but on several occasions I've been needlessly rude to some children, especially girls. I wish I could go back and repay them with same kindness and love that they showed to me. Maybe my first innocent love wouldn't slip through my fingers if I weren't such an autist.
Feels really bad, man.

I loved school, so most of my memories are about it.

>The last day of school before Winter Break and there's a mood in the air
>Talking to everyone about Christmas before the bell rings
>Say goodbye to everyone, knowing the break will be really fun, but also excited knowing that you'll get to go back to school and hang out with everyone after

>Comfy christmas where all the family gathers around our favorite grandparent and proceed to eat ourselves to death
>Running around the forests where I live, just living in imaginary worlds

could go on desu. I have really, really strong nostalgia for almost every moment of my childhood, but separately for each moment for some reason. Gets stronger when dude weed lmao for some reason, which is a main reason I still use it

Giving people this much nostalgia should be illegal.

>Go to school
>Go home and play video games until i get sick
that was my life for 19 years, now im bored of video games

How the fuck does one have a good childhood and end up on /r9k/? Personally I'm glad it's over, I'd honestly rather kill myself than become a child again.

>>39404086
Good moments do not a good childhood make. Or a mentally healthy person, by extension.

>>39404028
Missed something
>going to the school book fair and looking at the Guinness Book of World Records AND Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets
I really want that school book fair feeling back.

It's been getting better since I left home

>Real life RTS
Motherfucker... Used to do this in the sandbox in 1st grade

>>39404166
Life was simple back then. The fact that I used to spend my entire day just building shit from sticks made me very happy. And that feeling of pure joy is something I never managed to get after my father died a long time ago. There's always something in the back of my head that comes up when I try to just relax.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

My childhood was a cavalcade of rejection and confusion. My only good times were sitting inside watching TV. Some girls pitied me but eventually left me alone because they realised I was different.

By 'different' do you mean 'utterly boring' or 'sperging retard'?

>>39404357
A bit of both. They couldn't understand my Aspergers and bullied me incessantly.

Loving this thread. Wish these came around more often.

>>39404276
Same here. I'm afraid of women to this dayl.

..and by Penny I mean Winnie (It was really a very late 80's\early 90's thing, so I caught the tail end).

Here's another one, though there were lots of less than positive feels mixed in with this.

I know I had good memories but it's all such a blur now. It's like all the bad memories drown them out, and I'm so concentrated on adult shit that it's all getting replaced. It's a weird way to explain it but I just can't pull up any particularly positive childhood memory
