I miss my innocence and how like you said, believing anything was possible. I hate that as soon as i started to get older, I started comparing myself to other girls and started becoming unhappy with myself and my appearance. Life was so simple back then, nothing to worry about, looked forward to going to school, getting up early at 5 am to watch cartoons, and now NO ONE looks forward to waking up at 5 am. Work sucks. Earning money just to give it back to the system. Even though I'm older I'm still somewhat hopeful, that one day I can quit my job and live a happy life. I'm not the happiest right now, I'm done with relationships, hate my job, the money is good but doesn't cure sadness but still hopeful that I can one day say I am actually happy. If I could go back I would cherish it so much more.
very powerful words very powerful lol; what you said definantly struck a chord with me because I can relate to it so much! life was so fun back then! you would wake up in the morning and look forward to going to school because there were so many things you would do that were fun! you actually learned shit that was actually important; you would get in touch with your creative side and make macaroni drawings or craft arts and paper machete; you would have recess and you would go out and play and just enjoy bonding with your friends! and then you would go home and do your homework! after that you would just go play with your neighbors outside, have fun, ride your bicycle, play a game of hide and go seek, play tag.....ahhhh truly wonderful times; all that shit just went out the window when we grew up and got jobs lol I agree, I am depressed too cause of my job but I am hopeful because I believe that there is a happy life beyond work life; hopefully I can reach those days also where I can wake up in the morning and look forward to my life lol best of wishes
Jay omfg this really caught me off guard. I’m 26 now and I guess I wrote that when I was 20-21. Wow, I was so fucking sad. I can’t. I’m doing so much better now. I did quit that job that I hated so much. It literally sucked the soul out of me. I quit and went to school for a little bit, worked a shittier job during that time but I was so HAPPY and actually loved going to work. I went from working in health insurance making good money to go back to school and working at Starbucks. I loved it. Big pay cut but I was happy and made lots of new friends and made new memories plus experiences new things. I now work for a new company (banking) making more money then the health insurance company and I recently got promoted! While yeah, it is an office job I am much happier than before. I don’t hate going in and have been working from home cause of current events. No one is constantly on my ass and I work independently. I love it. As far as relationships go, I still haven’t met “my person” but I don’t care. Since then I’ve definitely loved and gotten hurt big time but it has helped me grow so much. I love how now I don’t even care about finding someone, I love being alone and if someone comes along great but I’m not stressing. I still miss my innocence though and get really nostalgic. I feel like 26 is an awkward age because you’re young and old at the same time. But damn I’m much happier now. I still have my days but I’m not as sad as I was when I wrote that comment that’s for sure.
@@thegabster93 Well I'm glad everything went well for you :) As for me I just turned 21 last month and I really miss my childhood. This pandemic basically fucked all my plans for this year and I'm not sure when I can go back to college again.. I haven't been getting enough hours at my job because due to the pandemic so I've been home a lot. I just want things to be in the right track again like it was before, I want to keep moving forward and improve myself. But everything stopped and hit a roadblock I guess. And honestly I haven't been enjoying my life as of late, the same routine everyday gets boring and I try to be on my phone a lot, such as be RU-vid, social media, and stuff because I don't really have much friends. I only really have one friend but I don't see him much so I feel lonely a lot. I don't know anymore... I still have to go through college and worry about my future but at the same I wish I was a 9 year old boy again 😪
agreed. society blows. adult life sucks big time. i really miss being a kid, a lot. you summarized it really well. i feel like we now live in a fake world
Im 19 about to be 20 in February. Im sad I’m not 15 anymore. I wanna be in high school again. Covid ruined it. Time went so fast after 2020. Whatever, I gotta enjoy it
Your video was one of the first times I feel I’ve watched someone who feels the way I have felt for a long time. It was relieving to hear some of this coming from someone else. Since 19 years old I have felt each year like something was missing note and more and more. It’s the wonder years. It’s those years of youth where you believed anything was possible. Like you I used to wish for things like flying or magical things and truly believed they all would happen. Dreams. Never ending dreams and excitement. I’m 42 now. I wanted to be an adult so bad when I was a kid and now I’d give anything to not be an adult. It’s crazy. This string of life events that make time vanish and suddenly you are an age you can’t even conceive of being. What’s crazy is I have a nice life. I have a beautiful home and nice things and lots of holidays etc but what I don’t have is that wonderlust and that is something money cannot buy.
@@m3735 the same advice that I didn’t listen to. I was in such a hurry to grow up that I laughed at people who told me to slow down. So I’d say enjoy every second of being young. Every day make sure you take pictures, journal it, experience every second of it. If you are a person that is living for the future STOP. Have dreams but don’t waste your life waiting for dreams to come true. Again enjoy every single moment. Do not allow mean spirited people in your life. Cut them out immediately. Also learn meditation and yoga. Lots of RU-vid videos. It will save your life especially if you Learn young.
I miss being a kid a lot! My childhood was so awesome! I hate being an adult worst decision I’ve ever made! I miss looking forward to just hanging out with my friends and miss having fun in the old days! I miss the 3 month summer vacation!
I'm 22 and I miss seeing the same people everyday like I did back when I was a teenager. I miss a time when I didn't have to prove my worth to the world, I miss when I had people to talk to. Enjoying how simple life was, how small my world was then. Now I constantly find myself scared of being alive or what the future will bring. Realizing that everyone is drifting away, my cousins and former classmates are getting into relationships, starting families and I'm here, stuck in university, feeling like im not getting anywhere, got held back in my art program late last year, it all feels like purgatory. Been single since 2017, don't ever see it changing. The loneliness has been getting to me for so long, I don't know how I managed to make it this far. Had a horrible Christmas back in late 2022, I was in the hospital for three days and the loneliness got even worse, the fact I could've went into a diabetic coma on 12/22/22 makes it even more scary and depressing. I've long since given up hoping for better days.
@@2nerC9 That's basically all I'm doing at this point. But even with preoccupations I can feel empty at times. Idk, most days it's easier to get through it. At the time that I made this comment, it was my hard day. Just longing for days that've long since passed me.
@@darklessman Well, I already voiced my reasons. The only upsides to being an adult is just being able to drive and spend money on things i want or need but that's about it. But I miss having genuine connections with others which gets more scarce as you get older. I value people over material possessions, which has no place in this world unfortunately.
Having turned 18 made me realize that it‘s all over now. I feel like the sun doesn‘t shine as bright as it used to, the green of the grass seems gray now and being mentally ill, having done drugs as a teen and now, having gotten into huge arguments with my parents, losing friends….i wish i could relive my childhood for just a day.
I feel this. I still struggle (32) with missing the better days.. when hanging with friends was a daily thing. when responsibility was little and dreams were big... now i am just a lonely shell of who i once was with a jaded outlook and no hope. growing up sucks.
Miss going to preschool and doing sport activities in a big hall, and going to break and playing then watching Dora the explorer with the class. Everything felt new
What I regret most is having way too little wild moments in my childhood. Now whenever I want to do something interesting, the adulthood will always be there to hold me back. I care too much about everything, to the point that every seconds passed are all uncomfortable and make me feel ease. There are so much stuff to handle and it isn't fun to deal with, I just kinda flow my way along side the society... involuntarily. I am forced to live this way, so is everyone too...
It’s worse when when you’re a kid you’re in school you’re in high school & you wish that you were an adult just so you don’t have to go to school , you wish you are an adult just so so because you don’t have to go to school it’s that fucking monopolous and then when you’re actually an adult you wish you were a kid just because it was easy & you had it easy er you still had to go to school and schools not that easy fact it’s just like prison enfacturing scores grades & levels so yeah for 1 school wasn’t easy and 2 that doesn’t make you’re childhood less hard in fact it made it the exact opposite it makes it more hard , it makes you’re childhood & you’re youth in general hard , well school can be hard too so really it’s not that easy so basically what you’re saying is you never really get a chance to enjoy life , just because you’re a kid & teenager doesn’t make you’re life easier because you have to go to school makes you’re life harder , school actually does the opposite and makes you’re life harder school actually makes you’re life harder , it’s like you never really get a chance to actually enjoy life school makes you’re life in general harder because it leads onto more monopolous things like having a shitty ass job aka a low paying job I’m ashamed of this (fucking) System
which is why we need to work hard to break free from the system and make income doing stuff you really enjoy and have a passion for! Yeah I was bullied a lot in middle school and a bit in high school, I wish my life would have been better back in school but well there is no going back to it. As an adult, I lost most of my friends from back then, some due to work, got married, drama, etc. I get you man... life was tough no matter what at times, I still had good times too at least.
I miss being a baby actually Because back then my family and even the world was a better place than today and when I get older I won't get to see my family as much as today and when I was a baby and I have been crying not because like you because you have a job and it's call crap but me it's because my family was better and nicer than today and I also miss my old house and all those family memories and they will never come back again as you get older, that is the 1 thing I hate about life is that you will never get that family memory feeling. And me too I used to always play Mario Kart with my brother and my cousins but now they think it's boring and I'll never get to play that game again with my family. And same thing about Xmas when I was younger I used to get toys and I remember one Xmas my mom dad me and my brother stayed at my grandparents house for Xmas and I remember loving the movies Tarzan and Jungle Book and now I'm not a little baby/ toddler and I don't see my grandparents as much as I used to do. I'm like you I miss being a baby/ past (good old days) but now it's all crap and you don't get to spend time with your family much because most of the times you will only see them 2 times a week and the other 5 days is crap! I hope one day something will make me happy
Alex Vikor me too bro I had a old house until I was 11 I had big memories like playing after school and playing on my psp on the floor and in the basement I also played on my 360 with my brother and my uncle who died 2 years later from cancer. Now I moved I’m still 14 I still like my time of year but I miss the prime years as a kid especially biking to the corner of the neighborhood, ding dong ditching and playing soccer and basketball in the early sunny morning. Man good old days
I know no one is going to read this. but anyways maybe 1 person would read this. so I'm only 15, and I'm lowkey depressed. I'm Japanese, but because of my dad's job and I wanted to study abroad at the very early age etc, I've moved a lot in my life. I've lived in Japan, Switzerland, New Zealand, Arizona, and I also changed a school a lot which will be 5 in total and if I count that I'm going to High School this year, it will be 6. Yeah maybe I was lucky enough to live in one of the best 4 countries in life, and I believed so as my dad told me so. But now, I don't know anymore. To be honest, I'm not really happy anymore. My parents tells me I'm selfish. but after I came to Arizona last year, I feel like life is so small idk? I really can't describe it. My dad believes that money can make people "happy". but then why aren't am I? and the reason I talked about how I moved a lot is because I don't have my home. Japan is not really my home anymore, I've changed so much, but really, there's no place I can call home. I have only 1 bestfriend, but I think I was lucky to have one. He was born in Japan, but he was also "Partially Americanized" liked me and we are still bestfriend. It's honestly scary to imagine life without him. but yeah I don't what I'm trying to say, you are probably confused reading this but I feel like I need to find something, and feel like missing out in my life, and I don't know... but I can't find it. It depresses me how I have another 4 years of high school. I just don't know what to do with my life? If anyone is still reading this what am I supposed to do?
I love Japan especially when I learn about their culture I like to listen to Japanese versions of my favorite cartoon intros. Everything about Japan makes me happy
I'm so sorry, kid. I hope you're doing better than what you wrote 9 months ago. I wish I could give you better advice. All I can tell you is that while your life may not get better instantly, some things will be better with time. You'll have more freedom to stay up and watch shows or play video games or eat junk food and no one will care. On the bright side, once you're out of high school, you have the ability to choose your path. That's another beast of itself and it's unfair to make kids so young have to figure out what they want to do at 18. Too young imo. Point is that once you get past that, and assuming you'll find some kind of work, hopefully you'll find time to find what actually makes you happy. Who knows. Maybe your next passion (regardless if you make money off it or not) could be the love of your life and give you a reason to get up in the morning. I know all this sounds so vague and intangible for you to do anything with, but sometimes that's how life is. It's not fair and I wish it weren't like that. Let me know if you have any more questions that I wasn't able to answer for you.
Hi i was 15 last year and i read all of what you wrote 2 years ago! I could relate a lot. Not just a lot, I felt you and your deepest struggles. I am just like you. I moved three times in my country Korea and moved to Vancouver, Korea again And Langley(canada) and California. Whenever I moved to somewhere new I was always the foreigner. As I grew more older teens in my new school were already too close with each other not even a single space left for me to become their bestie. Plus I didn’t have anywhere to call my home. I moved 12times in my life from moving around to different countries and places. I felt depressed that there is nowhere to call home like ‘others’. It sucks. Last year I visited Vancouver which I spent the best days of my childhood everything was the same however no one could remember me. It sucks man. I want to belong somewhere. I don’t want to miss anyone or anything from leaving away. Honestly I am scared to miss things and also to that things won’t be the same as before. I want a special friend group that I can hangout having fun with anytime afterschool. Life is boring now and I am scared that I’m wasting my time. I am scared that I might not be able to feel that way anymore when I could actually have fun and excitement and be at the moment. Idk if this is depression but from reading your comment I felt I want to be friends with you. Hope you read this someday @luna_lx.x is my instagram ID. I would like to be friends with you!
Your only 14 man! Enjoy highschool and understand that this time will go by very fast. Don’t live in the past because adult hood will be here very soon. Highschool is a great time man
LM10 Productions anytime man. I’m abt to be a junior in college. Still super young and I’m having a great time and this is prime party years but still.. nothing beats being a kid. As a matter of fact 13-15 was probably the best years of my life so far.
You can never get that back. Your child mindset and innocence is gone. As sad as that is, that unbelievable precious time in our lives are gone forever
Trust me man I get that. I’m 20 and I wish I could go back to being 15 or 17 again. You just gotta wake up and make tomorrow you’re today. Get out of your comfort zone and do ur best right now. Remember to have fun in the moment too. I spent a lot of my childhood dwelling on things that didn’t matter.
Well, you're 18 now. Looking back at this, how does this comment make you feel. Im 21 rn and I stumbled across this video because I searched on RU-vid "I miss being a kid" and thats because I do. Gaming until 4 in the morning because nothing mattered. I miss the simpler times.
8 year old video but still relatable. Currently 18 And never liked school, but I miss the times where I would play video games and playing pretend. I also miss when i used to watch cartoon network in the tv and being a very creative kid. Idk why im here i work in 5 hours on a 9 to 5 job, i hate it i dont get paid enough💀
I’m 22 and I wish to God that I can be a kid again. The innocence I once had, the carefree attitude, the willingness to do anything if I just believe. Nowadays it’s like everything is political, agenda is being shoved down, everyone is isolated even more so now ever since covid, on top of that, the things that are wrong are glorified.
Thanks for sharing your story and making this video. I can relate to what you are saying. Anyways how old are you? And what job title do you do? BTW I would type more but I'm pretty tired now. I guess I'll get back to this next time. Peace and please respond. =)
When I was younger I had a giant imagination and everyday felt like an adventure but then something changed school got harder life started to suck and I started to change my imagination wasn’t as wild as it had once been and I started to get depressed bc I was failing school and I was going through puberty and since then life has been getting harder but I’m trying to get used to it
i miss not being deppresed thats it and i saw my old clips i have youtube vids and i saw myself get deppresed time by time months by months until i get used to it and im only 13 im not capping this i trust u guys
