I miss my childhood?

Back when i was about 13 i didnt have to worry about anything. Every sunday my niece would come over and we would play with our friend across the street. Whether it was raining or snowing we were always there. We would sit around and watch all the great shows on nickelodeon and cartoon network we'd play in our tree house, or just do whatever.. Now none of us even speak to eachother. I see my niece maybe once every couple of months and i havent seen our neighbor in 3 years. Cartoon network and nickelodeon have gone to sh*t. Then there were other times when i would hang with my other friends and sit around and play yugioh for hours and hours. Every saturday i'd get up at 9 to watch all my favorite shows on kids WB. (Yugioh, batman, spider, tmnt ect.) Theyre all gone.. 90% of all of my old friends are off to college and i dont even talk to them anymore. I used to go to my grandmas house every single friday and we'd play games and eat pizza and have a great time. Now she acts paranoid and crazy and shes only 60. Shes not even the same person. im 18 now and All i do now is concentrate on college and work. I hate my job sooo much. Im a cashier at a grocery store. Its the worst job ive ever had, Everyone is rude demanding and inconsiderate including the bosses and staff. i dont have time for anything. I hate my life compared to what it used to be. I guess what im asking is, is there any way i can get over this. im so depressed. :'( i just wish i had a time machine and i could go back. id savor every single moment. and i certainly wouldnt wish i could grow up. thanx in advance.I miss my childhood?
That's why kids shouldn't be in a hurry to grow up. You just don't appreciate what your life is like in that period. True you don't have many rights, but then again you have no responsibility's either (except school). When you are a kid you look at adults and it seems like they have got it made. You can drive, get drunk(overrated) make money and buy what you want, almost. But you have to find a job, and if your lucky you like it and get paid well. But your job takes up most of your life and limits how much free time you have. And sometimes your so tired from work that you can't even enjoy your time off. Lots of responsibility's and not a lot of time for fun.



So live in the present, take in everything that's going on, learn as much as you can. Don't be obsessed with growing up, unless you die, you will get there.



Like the song says "You don't know what you've got, till it's gone---"
I'm sorry to say it doesn't get any better, but you do learn to tolerate it more as time goes by. If you are one of the lucky few you'll find true love, get married and build a family. Having kids sort of allows you to relive some of those missed years through their eyes.I miss my childhood?
Find some friends could be (in a study group or whatever) they can help you and relate to you. You are obviously very busy just take a deep breathe and analyze what you can do to make yourself happy.
Life is short; death is sure; sin is the cause; but Christ is the cure!



Jesus Loves you,...and is waiting for you to come to him,just as you are :)I miss my childhood?
Its called adult hood. Dream about the pass, then move on. Not good to linger in the past to long.
:(

i miss mine too



past is always better *sigh*

I wish you love, dear. :)
Growing up is challenging especially when you are going to college and working. I can see how you would miss your more carefree days. Sounds like your grandma has some mental health issues or dementia. It is hard to see our loved one's health diminish. Your life will get better. You will finish college, get a better job, meet new people. Try to plan a little fun for your self with one or two of your close friends.
Growing up has bitter moments.

I think when we're kids we are so caught up in the moment. We live moment to moment. We don't have responsibilities and we just can kick back and be a kid. But when we get older things start to get serious. Now you have to find a job, find a career, pay your bills, relationships seem to get more complicated and so on.

You're not the only one who feels this way. I miss certain things from my childhood but life is meant to be lived in the present moment not the past. You're still young. TODAY is the good old days. Cherish each day that comes your way.
