I miss the childhood I didn't really have so... I guess the answer is no.
I miss being 21 and being stoned and playing video games all the time though.

I miss being like 3 because I could just grab a chick's tit on a whim and everyone would be like "oh that's adorable" and these days people act like it is outrageous and inappropriate.

I miss the lack of responsibility.
The sense of 'home'.
I'm moving in with some friend's I really love in the next month, and it's the closest thing to 'home' I think I'll get without being back with my parents.
but idk...there's something about laying on the couch, reading a book and smelling my mom's dinner cooking that I miss. My friend's that I'm moving in with don't fully trust me to cook(You smoke one blunt and fuck up everyone's pancakes because you mix dish soap in with it accidentally cuz you're trying to multitask and suddenly it's like you can't touch any unprepared food without contaminating it) but I may designate Friday as like..the home cooked meal day/slowcooker day...if I can get everyone to agree on recipes..
but yeah, I'm doing it for nostalgia, I certainly miss mom cooking, being able to crash on the couch...though I do love the freedom I have otherwise.

You need to man up and find more women with lower standards and a lack of self esteem. A woman who won't let strange men grab their tits is a woman with self respect and I mean really, who wants to hang out with one of those people? Self respect never got anyone laid.

I actually feel the most like an adult when I just go do a random thing at a weird time. I know that might sound strange, but like living 1500 miles from home and trying to start a new life all alone doesn't make me feel like an adult nearly as much as like grabbing a beer and a joint and going for a walk in a deserted park at 2am. Sure, even in Colorado thats super illegal, but the consequences would be mine and mine alone, so I chose to casually break the law just for the pure enjoyment of it
As a kid theres always this sense if imprisonment. Even though you probably wouldn't really go and do much of anything THAT different if you had 100% freedom as a little kid, it just FEELS like you're always under lock and key. I remember when I started to rebel as a teen more than anything I thought "I've literally never done anything crazy or super dangerous in my entire life, I should just be able to do whatever until it bites me."
Kinda the way I live my life now anyway

Yes, but not really because of the childhood aspect of it (though that certainly plays a part, I had a great childhood), but more because of a lot of things that are gone now that I miss. The place where I grew up is completely different now. It virtually doesn't even exist anymore. The people and places I grew up around are all gone, the hopefulness and happiness of my childhood is gone. I miss the people and the places and the hopefulness and happiness. To a much lesser degree, I miss childhood itself with all its imaginary play and so on.

I miss having a future. Seems death has became a reality. Most people in my life are much older. Going to probably lose a lot of dogs and family before my time is up. Sure as shit home growing is legal so I have something.

I wish I was 14 not 44, just so I could live 30 years more.
I'm loving who I am now, minus being fat.

No, not really at all. But not being, or having to be, aware of 'the state of the world' was pretty good.
I had no friends and was heavily verbally abused by my mother the whole time and sexually abused by my father once and clergy a couple times. All of which I feel fucked me up for life. 17-22 was pretty decent though.

Growing up was Hell, which is why I would love having a second shot at childhood. A Take 2, a new and improved version.
I was so troubled as a kid and my whole environment was traumatizing me. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. Literally finding your mom after her suicide attempt, her being carted off to a mental institution, completely unhinged, then parents divorcing and later going psychotic yourself and being carted off yourself to the same institution, having been bullied into a pulp in part because I was weird because of aforementioned trauma and having been sexually abused at age 6.
Fuck it man, no child should go through anything like that and that just scratched the surface.
My childhood was a fucking concentration camp. a tour of duty in vietnam. I consider myself a war child. Nowhere and never was I safe.
Fuck man. Poor kid. 
Anyone who harms children can be assured of my utter animosity. I have a niece and nephew now, 4 and 6, and whenever I see them I throw a little party with gifts, lil fireworks, and me doing my best being the coolest uncle in the universe. It endears my brother and his wife.
Kids are awesome man. Young people in general

NO. It's scary not having a full deck and being subject to unpredictable, un-empathic giants. Hell is for children.

I don't miss all the jokes I wasn't understanding. Life is much funnier as an adult even if it's not as innocent. Growing up sucks.
It's like that episode of Rick & Morty w/ Tiny Rick. Being young seems awesome until you're dying inside and don't know why. I'd rather be old and miserable, because atleast if I'm old then being miserable is my choice.

Dude I totally never got that one. I get the emotional / understanding aspect of what you said, but I don't get the reasoning of giving up like an extra 60-80 years of life.

What are you really giving up though? Even if you retain your memories, you are still at the mercy of your biology and society which essentially is you giving up in large part who you are.
