Reliving your childhood

There's nothing wrong with doing stuff that you did when you were a kid. I still watch cartoons and I'm 25 years old. I have always liked doing kid stuff, like playing with kids toys. I love playing video games, something I didn't get to do when I was a kid, but is still mostly viewed as a "kid thing" to do. I love watching old cartoons with my son or playing with his toys with him. I think it keeps you young.

I have found it to be quite the experience to from time to time to revisit our childhood. Sometimes we gain insight and personal growth, and sometimes we just become young again if only in our minds.

When we were dating, part of our weekly ritual (we had a long distance thing whereby we met only on the weekends) was a walk to the children's playground when we would proceed to go on the swings...

We found it enjoyable and overtime, I sort of deduced that it had an impact on our relationship as well. We felt more like children again - happy, laughing and just having fun.

I still like to watch cartoons even though my dad sometimes makes fun of me. There are some people who don't understand the importance of feeling like a kid again. Once when I was in Australia and had just gotten a guinea pig as a pet, a family friend made this remark - "Why did you even get this as your pet? You trying to be a kid again or what?"

Reliving your childhood doesn't mean you had a bad one or that you want to be irresponsible or anything like that. It just means that for that one moment/hour/day, you want to feel carefree, happy and well, free from worries.

It's been so so so long time that since i relive my childhood days.. HOw i wish i can be so carefree, running about, need not worry about money all that.. Just be myself and having fun whole day.. Watching tv, doing homework and getting scolded by my parents ince in a while.. lOL

As for me personally, I believe keeping part of my childhood with me, keeps me happy all the times. Just try doing it, you will see, at times, try being the stupid, innocent, cheeky little one that you had ever been, with loads of pranks, lots of laughter, as if, things are blooming all over, an aura of happiness saturating the air around you, just simply lots of good things, try doing things you ever did in childhood, its simply amusing:D Believe me!

I would NOT want to relive my childhood. It was too bad. Now, if I could relive it and changes some of the stuff tht happened, I would relive it.

I would love to see some of the old shows that I used to watch when I was a child growing up. I miss seeing alot of them these days. I cannot hardly stand to watch what they have on televison now. It gets on my nerves and alot of it is not fit for a whole family to watch. I would love to be able to watch the older shows we grew up with.

I love watching cartoons as well.

As for the cotton candy, well, I am very jealous! I love cotton candy as well. I just love the way that it tingles and disintegrates when you put it in your mouth.

I haven't seen any for sale here for ages. I always buy some when the circus comes to town. Only they don't seem to come as often as they used to!

Isnt it great to be a kid again. I do this stuff all the time. And cotten camdy is so great whenever I get a chance I will buy some its so sticky and awesome I cant pass it up.

I like cartoons too, but more serious cartoons now that I'm an adult. I usually go for ones with some sociopolitical commentary or message. Sometimes if I'm having a real hard though I chill out with an episode of the Flinstones and a bag of chips and cookies (one each). I don't do that too often, however, as it's bad for me. I think reliving some of those simple pleasures of childhood before life became all stressful is a good coping mechanism.
