I Miss the Simple Joys from My Childhood

When I was a child, I was a foodie and loved street food, but we couldn't afford it most times(Unfair life/ rough times). I remember how special it was when my mom occasionally brought me my favorite street food, 'Samosa.' Those moments were the best.

Now, I earn a decent amount and can afford things for myself and my family. I often buy my mom her favorite treats, but I personally don't enjoy anything like I used to. Sometimes, I think about going out to have a Samosa or other fast food, but then I worry about hygiene or diseases. I've never drunk or smoked; the only thing I loved was street food. But now that I can afford anything, I don't feel like eating it.

As a child, I used to dream of earning a lot of money one day. Now, it seems like money is the only thing I care about.

I wish I could be that child again, who was happy just to get an occasional Samosa.

It feels like I matured too soon, which I didn't want. I want to eat my favorite food sometimes without thinking about anything else, just savoring the moment and the nostalgia. I don't know how to get that feeling back.

Same. I miss melas, going out with family for picnics, being happy in little things and not worrying about anything (other than getting less marks in school which now I realise that it doesn’t make any sense). I used to make small ganeshas and diyas with mitti in my village. We just grew up and grew out of all this.

Have you tried anything different recently? For me, in the last six months, I've discovered that I like traveling, so I've been doing that whenever get time.

@President_Trump travelling i too like but i really do not get time. Should consider it seriously. I am mostly into art, reading.

Posted it an hour ago and deleted it in 2 minutes. I don't know why I can't share about my personal life with my friends or family, or even on an anonymous platform. Fu*k it.

It’s a good thing to share what you are feeling..being anonymous helps…

I miss so many things from childhood yaar , those stay with cousins during vacation, those whole days I used to spend on ground playing cricket, I was so fond of cricket that wherever I used to go i arrange bat ball to play cricket, but then everyone got matured and got busy in their lives Kya jaldi jaldi bade ho gye na hum

Yaado k purane album me chupa k rakhe h humne wo din Na kisi manzil ki fikar thi
Zindagi jeene ki Umar thi Dosti aur doston se Udhar k din the

I was really good at cricket. But then I got so caught up in my career that I haven't played in the last 10-12 years

We have forgotten to enjoy the real essence of life admist the bug city hustle 😔. Hopefully with remote work and shift towards Tier 2 cities, we might enjoy it again

I'm doing remote work, but it hasn't made any significant change. Most of my childhood friends have left town.

Okay same has happened with me. Now I have moved on over it, by trying to do different things - finding a wonderful place to sit while having food, yes I enjoy it! (earlier I used to feel that is waste of money, but now that gives me some happiness)

And yr... Kya he btauuu.. I just wanna get married to the most perfect and wonderful person and I think everything will fall into place and I will be forever happy then
