Off topic
On topic. My childhood was cool til grandma died. Always was chill then grandma died, parents split, dad lost his gois job, mom worked too much. I was 5. The world started hurting and hurting badly. Never accepted or found a bounce back to loss after that.

I miss the sense of security generated by taking everything for granted. Roof over my head, food to eat, etc.. It wasn't until my mid-late 20's that I truly grasped we stand on a precipice and at any minute, with just one wrong move we could go tumbling down. Even looking back on it now, and realizing my grandparents weren't in any different of situation and I was not immune to falling just because they provided those things, it still just doesn't feel the same. I dunno, I guess because if they fell (and took me with them) it would still be their fault and there would have been likely nothing I could have done to change it... But now that burden rests on my shoulders and if I fall, I have only myself to blame. Any illusion of security is completely shattered, in fact, you end up spending a lot of time worrying about how you're going to fail and trying to see 20 moves ahead just so you don't. The total opposite of a sense of security. The shitty thing is, there really is no way to gain that security back once you've lost it. You can try and prepare for any eventuality but it's just not possible to do. Life often comes at you completely sideways when you least expect it.
Other than that, I get nostalgia, and kind of feel sad for today's children, but I don't really "miss it". Some of my favorite childhood memories were all created by me just taking off on my bike and staying gone til well after dark. Shit even just deciding I want to go to the park and going. These days, parents chaperoning their kids at the park see that, and they call the cops and the parents get CPS up their ass for neglect and endangerment.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I grew up fortunate, fortunately. Good parents, I was very young in the 90's and am now just realizing the value of time. Because god damn, the more time that passes, the quicker it passes.

I grew up in a mostly dysfunctional family,
Was abused physical as early as 4years old and on n off by various family members at a very young age
I still live at home and none of them do that now, cause I'm there size and I'd knock there teeth out
Being a kid is nice but in this life I didn't enjoy most if it, was alone isolated, gay, abused by family bullied at school on amphetamine b my doctor I was 65pounds in the beginning of 9th grade
It why I had a lot of problems til I started getting out and meeting people
