Hi everyone! I was born in a small village. Instead of a beautiful place, it is actually normal and poor village. But I did have much fun there. when I was young, I didn't have to worry about the damn future, I just could do everything I want, such as playing in the fields, climbing the hill... When i grown up, entered university, busy life was starting. Endless study task wait for me to complete in every single day...and many other problem like finding a good job always bore me. So do you guys miss your childhood? and why? welcome to share you experience, thanks in advance.

Yes I do, definitely. I miss the times when I was really free, able to watch TV, do things in my own free time and free will and all the childish acts, all I miss it, really. I wish I could go back in time, to maybe just change myself and become a better person too.

When I was a child, I often tell my parents that I want to be a grown up so I can be free to do things that I want. Own things that I want. Now that I am a grown up, I often hear myself wishing that I just go back to what I was before so it is less complicated. Not that I am complaining, just a wishful thinking.

Often, we find that even when we seem to have the least, we actually have the most. It is usually about quality of life over quantity of life. I like your description of your childhood village. It doesn't sound like it had much in the way of possessions, but i sounds like it was a great place to be a kid and to live - really live - not just survive from day to day to make more money. There are aspects of my childhood that I miss too. Times were much simpler, and the world wasn't quite as corrupt. I can't say I had a lot of stuff as a child, but the happiest memories for me was the ones that didn't have anything to do with "stuff". The time when I could float down the creek on a raft, or swim, or just play with my dog, or imagination in the hills. Those were fun for me. Those are what I miss.
