What Do You Miss About Being A Child?

1. How easy everything was.
I miss how simple life used to be. I miss being easily pleased by little things like getting a new pencil case, having a cake for breakfast, receiving a praise from adults and etc. Even though I had little in terms of luxuries, I were happy and content.






2. Freedom of worry and fear.
I miss being carefree, not having much responsibilities.


3. Innocent. 
When you're a kid, you be nice to everyone. You treat everyone equally without discrimination and prejudice. You are not racist. I miss being naive. I used to believe there is no existence of  "bad guy" and everyone in the world is "good guy".





4. Be yourself. 
You weren't scared of people judging you. You weren't embarrassed to act like an idiot. You need not to worry about your looks because self image was not that important when you're a child. No one would laugh at you if you wore clothes that didn't match because you didn't have to impress people for them to like you. I miss running around in my swimsuit without the need of being worry whether I look fat or not.




5. Protection

I miss yelling my mom to kill the cockroach in the toilet or in my room. I miss running to my parents' room whenever I had a nightmare. I miss holding my mom's hand to cross the road. I miss walking home with mom after school regardless of the weather. I miss my mom carrying a big yet heavy umbrella to protect me from the heavy pouring rain or the sun. I miss everything is taken care of by my parents. I miss the comfort of my parents having all the answers.







6. Movies, cartoons and books.
I'm a 90s kid. I watched Power Ranger, Powerpuff Girl, Totally Spices, Ninja Turtles, Home Alone, Tom and Jerry etc etc.  I remember watching Art Attack and followed what the man did but.... I failed. HAHA
I remember reading Goosebumps and actually believed that my dolls were alive.



7. Brotherhood.
Me and my brother were close siblings when we were kids. We used to have so much fun together in the midst of little fights. I love role play (yes, even now). As I'm the elder child, I always got to be the doctor, a teacher or the mother. My brother, the unfortunate one, he could only  be a patient, a student and the baby. I miss the enjoyment of bullying him. Now? We barely talk. He is going through rebellious period and being cool for all the time.


8. Colouring
Gosh I love colouring! I love crayons, colour pencils and all that. I used to participate in colouring competition without telling any of my friends. And I did win some prizes ok. Fyi, I love colouring but hate drawing. I'm a weird kid. lol. I'm still keeping my crayons, waiting for, someday maybe, I could use them again.
