What’s one thing from your childhood you miss?

(Creating my own daily prompt for the day, so feel free to join in with me. )

I’ve been feeling old of recent and having a lot of “I feel like my dad” moments, as I reflect on the “olden” days. I’m a 1991 baby so I grew up with dial up internet, AOL/AIM, Napster, phones that had cords and were attached to walls, and huge ass TVs. I can’t forget CDs and Walkman. I can still place myself in the backseat of my Dad’s car, listening to my Now 6 play “it wasn’t me”. Wildly inappropriate for my age and I was loving every moment.

The phone we had in the kitchen had a cord that stretched all the way into the next room. I’d crouch down on the floor in our dining room and talk to my 1st grade boyfriend for like an hour regularly. The loyalty back then!

Sometimes I just wish things were different, or that we could go back for a day or two. Freeze moments in time that we could revisit or show our children or cool shit like that. Life is weird, amazing… all the things.
