- A liminal space is a place that Sparks bizarre emotions in you. These feelings are usually saddening or uncomfortable. With a very common emotion being déjà vu
The Sense of nostalgia from our childhood or earlier times in our lives can often be a sad feeling. The sense of sadness occurs when we are reminded of a better time, or when things were so much more simple. When we look back on childhood, it’s usually very vague and unspecific, but that is part of the reason why many of us feel so sad. Our memories are often vague because it was a simple time, where we didn’t have to stress or worry, we were all happy. And it’s sad to see that feeling go...

Hey everyone, this time I tried something a little different. If I’m being honest with myself, I really miss my childhood, and looking back on the nostalgia can be a little sad sometimes
It was a time when everything was so simple, and there wasn’t any worries in the world greater than the playground and the toys you got. Even though the memories are vague, I remember being happy, and carefree. Times have been pretty hard for me lately, and sometimes I just hold out for a chance to feel like that again. Looking back on the memories I have from a child, it brings back happy memories, and you can’t help but smile, but there’s also a little sadness in that smile
All we can do now is look back on our memories, and cherish the memories we once had
When I die I hope I’m able to go back to my childhood hood I just wish I can start over sometimes
@@foreverstraps_9208 It's sad that we never notice that time passes very quickly. If I had one desire, I would only wish to start all over again in order to relive my childhood once again, and this time - enjoying it.
@@drive4326 It's pretty painful. Growing up, I genuinely was convinced I'd be a kid forever. I didn't care about anything except when the ice cream truck would show up. Life felt so easy.
But I didn't know it. I didn't cherish anything, I didn't savor any moments and now I'll never ever get them back. I'm only 17 now but I know it gets worse from here.
If I could go back in time and do one thing, I'd tell my past self to worship every second of his life. He has no clue how fast it's going at all.
Ikr I used to not be so nostalgic because I was younger but now those memories make me want to go back.
This is so true; I feel nostalgic for my childhood so often. I'm only 16, but my childhood feels like so long ago and like a different era.
I feel so bad for the one's who had an horrible painful childhood and never had the chance to experience what we did.
Hello, that would be me
Mhm
Or maybe they did experience it and still had a bad childhood.
I am mostly in a wheelchair so I did not get to experience most of these. But yeah
That's me
This is like inviting all your friends to your birthday party but everyone already left years ago.
WTF HAHAH “last online 6 years ago”
What
Inviting your friends but they never come
This isn’t what birthday parties normally look like?
Jokes on you I never had a birthday party :D
This is like the end credits of your childhood man this is sad
Couldn’t have put it into words better. It doesn’t even need to have people’s name on the pictures, they do it on their own
the music is minecraft end credits
A little different for me but it is vr green brush wearing a hat that says sorry I'm retarded on it. Yes it is
I have the same feeling except add fright to that
@@spycrab3723 which one?
This is why I tell 4-9 year olds to enjoy it. They can never go back. We can never go back.
I got told it so many times. It’s almost a punishment that at that age. You can never understand the weight of what your being told. You just look forward to being able to do “adult things” because your told you can’t. The curiosity of your mind shields you from the appreciation of simplicity and fun. The biggest pain is that kids these days. Won’t even have this…
yes but you make it worse. ignorance is a blessing, and you break it by telling them what happens when you are an adult. the reaction to this is most likely either dread, sadness, or curiosity
You gain something new but you loose what you had

my childhood resumed in one sentence lol
Damn that actually made me sad cuz I never had any friends during childhood and I was always sad but I never said anything abt it
HELP IM HPLDIN IN MY TEARS
feels like my life right now. nobody really wants to hear an ND kid rant about her special interest anymore :')
it’s sad that we once were so excited to be “big kids”, and now we just want to go back to the time when all of these places were magical to us.
I was just thinking about that. It's sad that we all view this as the happiest point in our lives. And it was only happy because we truly genuinely believed things would get better when we got older, but nope, this was the peak.
I just want my mama back
I just want my childhood back
Man I’m old
@@Morning_Dewdrop that sentence tear me up
Nothing's more terrifying than when you feel your youth slipping away.
I kinda hope I'll die before 30 tbh. Because of the youth thing and my discomfort with life.
I just wanna see if I can experience some things first
True
sometimes i need to remind myself i’m still 16 and i’m still really young, but it just doesn’t feel like it, and it’s slipping away faster and faster as the years go by. i want to be 10 again...
these times weren’t even that long ago, but these liminal space photos still elicit tears from me nonetheless.
edit. now i’m 17 and a half. i be aging af
I don't even remember my youth.
@@trashygrape2922 wow u explained my feelings well
I'm 34. My little brother died when I was 11 and he was 9. These images evoke memories of my time with him, especially the waterpark ones. It's so weird to think about how over twenty years have passed for me but he will always be 9 and remembered in a world where these pictures were the present.
I Hope your all good now bro
May he rest in peace 🤍 So sorry for your loss.
That must have been so hard on you and your parents. I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you all the best in life.
I have a younger sister. I hope I never have to feel what you feel now. God be with you brother.
I hope your doing well we all pray that your doing well. God bless your soul. I’ll be there for you.
This feels like going outside and playing with your friends for the last time but none of you know that it's the last time.
Well said. Yes!
Y’all really tryna make us cry
So deep... 😔
True

I was in my feelings up until the dashcon ballpit.
Then I started laughing.
Oh my god the dashcon ballpit 😂

Literally exactly that fucked up the vibe omg 😂😂😂
I didn't laugh, but something in my closet did.

Goodbye, once again, childhood. Now I‘m viewing you like a loved one passed away. Like a second mother or maybe a loving creature that introduced me life.
Sad Reality sets in

Think about this, you can drink, drive, buy McDonald’s whenever you want, get that 1 ice cream cake you saw at Walmart, and can even buy a gun.
@@elanrg Always thought of that, but I don't drive yet.. once I do. I'm gonna start my Journey to find my Liminal Home
😞This hurts
this is stupid but sometimes, when i see pictures like this, i always think of how quickly i let childhood slip away/how i was kinda forced to grow up quick. i feel like i pushed my childhood away and seeing stuff like this makes me regret it and makes me wanna curl up and cry. i miss when things were this simple.
Same....
Is 14 too late for childhood bc I am having an early life crisis bc of this video wtf happened to when I was younger why did it go so fast.
@@donovanennis7252 Nah you're right on time. Hang out with friends, try new hobbies, make mistakes all of them. Literally. Don't pass up any opportunities bc you are in a point in time where you are old enough to control your actions, but still young where when you mess up it's not a big deal. Live your life because you only get one.
@@chicub7749 literally tysm I needed something like that Rn. I just find it hard to balance basketball, relationships (I know 8th grade relationships sound dumb), school, and trying to find out My passion while still having a childhood. Don’t wanna be the person that always has an excuse I just don’t know where to go with this problem so... maybe some ppl in yt comments can help me
@@donovanennis7252 These are all very mature and valid thoughts to have. First off go easy on yourself you are human so it is natural not be perfect all anyone can ask is that you give it your best shot even when it gets hard and don't give up. Ever. Secondly remember that life is not linear there are a million different paths for you to take and nothing is final. Thirdly don't take life so seriously. Yes, some days you are going to work until you fall asleep, but others you gotta get out there and explore the world with people you care about. You have a lot of time to develop and find your passion just gotta keep working hard and you'll make it. You are smart, hardworking, and most of all persistent. When things get hard think of all the people you have rooting for you and will get your back if you ever fail. Your story is just getting started make one you'll be happy to remember when you get older.
The sad thing is you could try to visit the places as a teen or an adult and even though it looks exactly the same as before something just seems off and the atmosphere doesn’t feel right
Sadder thing is when you visit the places as an adult when you see in the outside it looks like it’s open but right when you enter it’s empty and it’s now just an abandoned building.
Exactly! I can’t quite place it
thats so right. I remember going to a pool in my childhood (cuz i don't have a pool in my house) but it was fun but now when im older the atmostphere doesn't feel right
Facts bro
Couldn’t have said it better myself, amigo
Born in 2004, in 2 months I’ll be 20 years old. Watching this video made me nostalgic, emotional yet comforting. We saw everything bright and magical, no stress, no worrying, no negativity, just you and your friends playing outside and having a good time. Sometimes we couldn’t wait to get older. Now we realized getting older isn’t so easy. We shouldn’t be sad because it’s over, we should be happy because we experienced it. ❤
I know what you mean, I was the same way growing up but now sometimes I wish I could tell and convince my younger self back in elementary school to not be that way.
Oh fuck, 4:35 hits different. Being left in the kiddy spot while your mother explored IKEA, making a friend you would never meet again while a DreamWorks movie you'd never seen before played on the little screen in the corner.

Yep, been feeling that way for a very long time.
its gets better i swear, i was there for so long
Same
Well not in my house house but still
It even weirder when you realize these were all probably real places that have since been abandoned or forgotten
Or these places continue to exist, supplying new generations of kids with these same memories we miss so much. And we’ll look back on them together someday, someday far from now we’ll miss them together. Maybe someday even, we’ll take our children to the same spot, and supply them with the childhood we miss so much
@@ObsidiousYT Damn.
fun fact:
at 0:17 I’ve actually been there. my mom has pictures of me against that wall from when I was young. It’s still open and kids still go there, it hasn’t changed in 7 or so years. :)
@@sparkIejumprope where is it?
@@ObsidiousYT like the last photo, which opened only four years ago
Being a kid born in 2000 and living through the leftovers of the 90's this stuff is very familiar. Crazy how much can change in 23 years.
Best way to describe those times. I remember when kids still played outside and could actually be kids before technology took over. I’d do anything to go back to those times
@@dedted9579 Most of the kids today that I've seen are addicted to disposable vapes, they bully eachother and they're glued to social media. I'm trying really hard to not boomer-post but it just seems to be true. It's sad.
Well I’m born in 1999 and the stuff is familiar to me as well
Born in 1998 and I understand what you are saying
You never know that your childhood is just remains of your parents’ until the same happens with you and your kids
There’s a reason our parents told us “don’t rush to be an adult” we didn’t listen....
We were tired of being treated like”kids” that it went over or heads....
So I get it, except I figured out the world when I was 7 years old, with all it's flaws. So I never really got to experience the childhood everyone else says they had because nothing really felt the same to me after that.
It’s...honestly heartbreaking, when we’re little all we want is to grow up and become adults but when we finally are adults...all we want is to be kids agian...
Enjoy while your still a kid until it lasts you don't realize how much time you have on your hands until you grow up
i feel like i never got to have a complete childhood and it’s coming from me, someone under 15.
i was and still am emotionally neglected by every adult around me. they told me to deal with it and that only adults felt those feelings, therefore what i felt did not exist. it was a phase. this made me feel like an adult and try to act more like one. i wish with all that i have, that i was still naive and dumb at my current age. but now i don’t feel or think in a child mindspace anymore.
i lost enjoyment in toys.
i lost enjoyment in playing pretend.
i thought that if i was mature people would believe me and understand me and help me feel okay. i began feeling embarrassed doing things my age. of other kids in my age. no more dolls, no more pink, no more pretty things, no more dresses. and here i am. i never got to enjoy these things for so long. i grew up too early, and i hate it. i grew up too early, and i can never, ever, go back, and now that i’m “mature” people just believe me less.
that’s why every time i see videos like these i just want to cry because i feel like i missed out on being the child i wanted to be. i hope someone out these feels the same as i do. i missed out on so much and just want to be a dumb kid getting stuck in the tubes at chuck e. cheese.
true...
5 year old me: I WANT TO BE A TEENAGER!!!
my mom: but its going to be hard-
5 year old me: dont worry, it wont be!!! ^w^

Words can’t describe how badly I wanna go back
Theres no way to go back. But dont worry, everything happens for a reason.
I feel the same way
Same
you and me both
Soon you'll be saying the same thing about now
Everything back then was so colorful and vibrant even on rainy or overcast days
Mhm
Very true. I wish I could go back to those days.
That was such a good way to describe it
Yeah.
I recently have been in a few furniture stores, and all of them were filled with very muted colors. It felt washed out and kinda sad. The only colorful item I found in an entire store was this multicolored posable lamp with 5 lights. I bought it then and there and it makes me so happy. I honestly thought that I was the only one to notice on how dim everything looks and it’s nice to see I’m not the only one
3:18 This hit me hard. I celebrated my birthday at an indoor playground when I was in 5th grade and this reminds me of the table we sat at. I had a chair that looked like a throne, topped with a crown and coloured golden. I am no longer in contact with any of the friends who I invited. We grew up to be too different to remain friends, but I was still glad the friendship was there while it lasted.
I literally remember this I had my birthday there the nostalgia hit me hard.
Bro my friends literally had bday parties there too 😭
I miss when everything was so easy. The amount of regret I have for saying I wanna grow up when I was younger is a LOT. I just wanna go back to when I was 7. Everything felt so fake, like it was a dream. But a good dream.
Same thought here...
Ikr
This is actually sad.
Same. I just wanna go back to when I was 5. I was happy almost all the time, and it felt like there was so much stuff to learn. Space, science, animals, they were wonders to me. Those topics still fascinate me, but they don't fill me with the sense of pure wonder and curiosity that I felt back at that age, and it makes me so sad.
Same; I graduated 8th grade when covid hit, so I was pretty much ripped out of my childhood. I never saw a lot of my friends again, and i haven't even been inside the school since March 13th.

@@nourmals Fr
I love the feeling of nostalgia, it's so strange and reality-detaching, I adore it.
I had a feeling of sad nostalgia quite recently. I came to the realization, upon the emptying of my grandparents house after they both passed, that I will never make memories there anymore. Their dogs are re-homed and those years of Christmas scavenger hunts and hearing my grandmother sing in German are over. I felt lost without this sense of familiarity and comfort. But then, another thought came to my mind. Now is the time to make new family memories, just with a different role placed on me. I will no longer be the child, but rather the aunt or mother some day. I will be the creator of memories for the children that come into my family next. After all, if nothing ends, then nothing new can begin. It's time for me to let go and start anew.

Or when your parents told you as a kid they would buy you that toy next time, or told you that you couldn’t get that toy you really wanted.

*Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.*

Imagine beeing a very old person watching their childhood memories though this. We loved this time because we were always protected with no worries, and just living the moment. But what an old person would appreciate is the amount of potential and time we still had back then. If you are a millenial or gen z watching this, try to do the same, because there is still a lot ahead of you.

I want to go back to the 2000's when everything seemed perfect. When I could have no problem making random friends I'd never see again, when I could be ambitious, when I could be free. When I could day dream in class. When I could just.. yknow, run around in the store while mom was returning something. When I was care free. I really do want to go back. Even if I turn back into a child who can't decide for themselves, I'd prefer that. I want a fresh start.
I know how that feels...
when ignorance was bliss and it starts changing when people tell you to "grow up"
So, I am a child and turns out that I get it because I had that feeling when I was 2 and it stopped at 7 years old when I figured out the "Real World" with all it's bad things and I just hate it.

Don't live in the past, man. There's no shame looking back at once was, everyone does it, but please don't dwell on it. I heard someone say that these pictures are like what you would see if you went back in time, but no one is there when you go back. The reasons these pictures awaken such a feeling, is because we remember the memories of the past. But don't forget that you can make memories just like this, and in 20 years you'll see a photo that awakens that memorie. What makes life so meaningful is the people around you, you and them, make the memories and these pictures so meaningful.
I hate this thought: Every family member, pet, celebrity, neighbor, we have to watch them all die, and the only alternative is a freak accident that ends your life early. This is the morbid reality of this world. Every generation has to deal with this, and this video is my reminder that now so do we
The pet death I can so relate to so far
This made me cry you're so right
The scary part is that you'll be next.
You don't know what death will be.
Nobody told you what it looked like because they died
Cruh Lifeline!
Doesn't matter how wealthy you were, doesn't matter who you met, your job doesn't matter,doesn't matter if you had children or not, doesn't matter if you saved someone's live!
Doesn't matter, all your efforts are in vain
Not just your life, but the entire human species will eventually come to an end... Who cares about what you do? We are not alone in the universe, probably just another species that will die out and be forgotten
It's harsh but it's the truth.
As someone who grew up very poor,I can’t relate to most of these photos.A couple here and there give me a little nostalgia,but that’s about it……..sadly.
But I’m sure you have other memories that give you nostalgia…..other places and times and people that make you feel that childhood nostalgia from so long ago. Ik i do, my family never really went to these kinds of places pictured in the video, but I get so much nostalgia from different places or other things sometimes.
I can relate to that. I have a lot of other memories that can make up for it though mainly places I used to go all the time, like a friends house, old music I listened to all the time when I was little, and at least one video game which was Mario kart Wii. It was the only game me and my sister had for years and we loved it so much. Since my mom was a single parent it was hard to get are own Wii for ourselves, so me and my sister decided to put the money that we got from our mom and dad together to get it. It was really the only thing we got that year, but we loved it so much.
U had to include that u were poor?

I didn't grow up in the USA so I can also relate to you on not finding these images nostalgic. But there are definitely soo many other things that do it for me

The good old days when life was good and not depressing.
Even as a teenager, I still miss so much from my childhood. The thought of just waking up with no worries or stress, then to just play and mess around, without ever thinking about growing up.
I wish I could go back to that.
You do realize that, as a teenager, you are still kind of a child. You still don't know a lot about the world but you are getting a vague outline of what it should be, how it should work. When you were younger the world seemed so strange, so alien, so new and you wanted to know everything you can about it.
Now as a slightly older child currently transitioning into adulthood, to world doesn't seem so strange and magical, you see it for what it is. You see what you are on the world. Just another person living out their mundane life like everyone else is.
As a fellow teenager, my advice to you is to keep those beautiful memories of the time you didn't know aside, keep it in your mind. Just don't think about it too often, nostalgia is something you should feel when something takes you back to it, you should stop longing for the days when life was all about just being in the moment and having fun. Because in these years of your life it still is, so I urge you to go and do something you enjoy whatever it is, go do something stupid, something fun. Something teenagers do.
I want you to remember all you have is now, the moment you go to sleep and wake up to a new day you lose yesterday forever. So enjoy today however badly you think it went. Might just be the last time you get to enjoy it.
True

Being in the ballpark, climbing on slippery mini parks for kids in malls, sliding down the bouncy slide. It’s all gone. As an adult you can never experience what we did as kids. Our childhood was made for us to be happy.
As kids, we had no idea we were living the dream. Once we hit puberty and become a teenager, nothing feels the same.

I really took being a kid for granted. I miss when my mom and dad would let me sleep in their bed after a nightmare, i miss when going to the store was a fun trip with Mom, i miss when my favorite stuffed animal was the fluffiest thing i would always hold, i miss going to elementary school and having fun, i miss the games me and my little sister would play outside, i miss the naive curiosity i had, i miss going to work days with my dad. I just miss being a kid. I had a good childhood dispite the difficulties of poverty, i thank my parents for that but i definitely took it all for granted.

“Don’t be sad because it’s over, smile because it happened”
- Dr. Seuss
Exactly. Not a lot of people seem to want to break the cycle of continually taking life for granted. They say “We all took our childhood for granted”, yet you can still cherish the rest of the good times if you don’t wallow in the hardship.
Yeah..
Even though I don’t remember much of it, it’s good to go back to the moments I do. Everyone has those memories may them be many or not, vivid or blurred. It’s relaxing, almost relieving knowing that life can be simple and innocent, something to cherish.
More like „don't smile because it happened, cry because it's over". No point in trying to lie to yourself.I preffer grief over forced smiles
Thanks
man shut up like honestly
I think the emptiness is what gets to me in a lot of these pictures. They seem so familiar, yet empty. Almost feels like a reminder that those times are gone, and I can never go back. The people I loved are either gone or still with me, but it isn't the same.
Best way to describe it.

So true. From our old places that used to look so colorful as we were kids to the places looking like “Yes, I se U. U grew up, stop lookin at me. U already are done with your childhood”. And for some reason. Cars are also I guess copying the same color style as buildings are. White, black, silver, and grey. It’s almost like our life’s are about to be on a 1950s dark, romantic, comedy, action tv show.

2:23 - This image for me, invokes the same feeling as leaving school on your final day. A sense of such intense, overwhelming melancholy washing over you. You understand all too well that once you leave that building, you are never coming back. It feels bittersweet, as all throughout that school year, all you really wanted was to go home, but now that the moment has finally arrived, you feel that you don’t want to leave. You don’t want to leave all of those memories behind. I mean, this is basically the setting of your childhood, this is where it all happened, and when you take one step out of that door, you’re not just leaving your school, you’re leaving your childhood behind.
Omg yessss
Seeing this reminded me of moving out of my hometown. I had friends and family there, so leaving school on the last day felt like the world was ending.
why is this so true
Or you've just arrived for a dance or event after hours.

I remember a couple years ago, I was at my little sisters elementary school party thing because I was bored, on the playground I just looked around and thought "In 100 years everyone here, including me, will be dead." I have always been scared of that realization.
thank you
I'm not that scared of death in general, but scared of running out of time in life. Like every now and then when I'm not doing anything very productive I get the feeling I'm just wasting time and I should do something more productive but I don't. It drives me crazy.
If there are any 10- year olds reading this enjoy your childhood because when I was 10 I said I wish I lived in the 90s and I’m 18 now and I wish I could go back to my life back then. So appreciate your childhood until it is gone
this strangely doesn't make me sad although it's very nostalgic, it actually makes me want to have kids. Makes me want to let others live out the wonderful memories I had at these places and become their own person.
That's a very wonderful way to think about it! Looking at these places makes me want to have kids as well, but I must wait for I am still young yet...

The weird thing is that my little cousin had his birthday at a bounce house area like the ones in this video. All my cousins played in there, and watching them really felt like watching a remnant of my own childhood before my own eyes in real time.
My childhood ended when I revisited my old elementary school late at night. I needed to drop off some recyclables for some program the community was doing. I saw the old playground at the back, and since there wasn’t any signage, I figured I would go back and see it.
When I was a kid, this playground was one of my favorite things in the world. I could turn it into a spaceship, or a fortress, or a dungeon, or whatever I wanted it to be. And now, here I was, to see it in all it’s glory.
It was so small.
I was almost as tall as the structure. It was near impossible for me to squeeze inside, and walking around in it made me realize that everything had become far too small for me to reasonably enjoy it.
I made my way to the main top deck, what used to be the bridge of my spaceship. I could cross the entire surface with one step. I sat inside and just appreciated being back for a little while. Then, I got up and left.
I cried very hard in the car ride home. The only thing that echoed through my mind was that the playground was so small. When I got home, it dawned on me that the playground hadn’t changed; it was me who was small. And now I was bigger.
Being a human is such a surreal experience. I’m glad I’m here now.
Yes. I always wanted to be an adult here and go through childhood fast. I wanted to be older and now I'm there and I wish I took advantage of my time. I had so much freedom, joy and no worries. I visited my old house that my grandparents kept for us as it was all paid off and they hadn't changed anything. I walked into my room and I felt a wave of nostalgia. I had a red cars bedframe with a box of toys like cars and figures. A dirty old nightstand with a light on it so I could see my DS screen. I want to go back

I agree with you, as someone who was born in the 99s its sorta hard to find my place with either the 90s or 2000s. A lot of these photos I experienced and some not. I hope your childhood was okay and safe for you. There's still time I wish I could of had in my childhood. The same thought of when I was a child. No thoughts of paying bills, work, doctors, or losing family members with time. There's that little bit of me that wishes I could go back to the Olde days of complete content, no worry about big things in life. I miss my childhood, I miss my loved ones. I hope everyone cherishes their childhood and their loved ones. You only experience childhood once, keep that close to your heart. I hope everyone in these comments are safe and well.
i wish i was born when you were born. Pre all screens and free too have a childhood not worrying abt stuff.
I was born in 95, and I would truly argue it to possibly be, one of the most fortunate yet unfortunate years to have been born in all of time. I’m old enough to remember some really good times. Sports, video games, movies/tv, music. How friendly people used to be. My friends instead of texting on a phone, would gather up at “the spot”. Or, we would leave our windows open and whoever was out would let out a signature whistle. We’d go and build bike ramps. Or egg windows lol. Something productive. But it was all cut short. I remember the first iPhone. VHS to DVD to Netflix. CD player to MP3 player etc. Going on the computer/internet was like this forbidden unknown mystery. Now we all have one in the palms of our hands, and it’s addicting. Yet depressing because nothing is a surprise anymore. I grew up on an island in Scotland, swimming in the sea and exploring abandoned WW2 bunkers. I moved to a big city when I was 15 and I could instantly tell, these kids never had a childhood. At least not one like mine. So I’m grateful for that. But man, I’d give anything to go back. Lol this video has really got me in my feels lads😮💨😂
I dont wanna grow up. All of these things make me sad and nostalgic. Being a teenager sucks and I just wanna stay a kid. I'm growing up quickly and I wanna stay.
Exactly how I feel. I just want to go back to how things used to be. Before the tragedy, before the divorce, before my anxiety took over my life and caused me to shut everyone out. I want to hold on to the times where I was innocent and believed everyone was a good person even though I know they're far behind me...
Sorry for being too personal. Just needed to vent....
I don't want to be 11 anymore i want to be 7 years old again ):
I wanna restart life. I made the stupid decisions to figure out life at the age of 7 so now everything is just bad. My family is broken because of personal matters and I just wanna restart, y'know, everything.
You're gonna waste your teenagers years then you'll wish you'll be a teenager. Them you'll waste middle age. Then your 60s 70s 90s and bam you're old
We all want to stay but we can't, Time's arrow marches forward, we have to acknowledge what has happened and remember it, it's the best we could do.
This might ruin your morning, afternoon, or night but realize every second we are getting farther away from these memories. 😕
