Do you miss being a kid?

Life was hard for me growing up, but it was a lot of fun. Wouldn't say a lot of innocence as much as ignorance. I didn't expect much from the world and the world didn't expect much of me. It was easy to hit on mature woman and easier to go adventuring. Problems were small then and not well understood. Generally pain free and had lot's of energy. Addiction was a story and not a reality. Shit was fun and funny! Highest hopes were dream able.
Kinda sucks getting older. My past is no longer forgivable and that limits the future. I think I lived it right as a kid. I was a good swimmer and a good friend.

I swam so much as a kid and never had to worry about being fat. Ate like a pig and had zero worries. Although I should of been more aware and had worries. Worries were different back then, usually nightmares.

the key, ime, is to make your hobbies profitable and/or a career. that doesn't eliminate the stresses that will occur anyways, but it helps keep things in perspective. that being said, not all hobbies are likely to be profitable, though that is not a reason to not pursue them.
OP: yes, i miss being a kid. not so much the teen years, but 4-13. MTG, warhammer 40k/mordheim, video-games and tv until the brain and body grew numb (/shudder). would i ever want to relive those years? no chance in hell.

Hes an adult, he doesn't have to understand grammar anymore, thats for little kids and nerds
And yes, I do miss being a kid, ages 4-11 were pretty great in retrospect. I hated it back then though, I didn't have friends and my sister and I fought like cats and dogs. But around 12 my family experienced a Lemmony Snicket's-esk (too lazy to look up spelling, I'm an adult) series of unfortunate events that basically steamrolled for the rest of my life.
So I guess I don't as much miss being a kid as much as life not sucking... which I guess for a lot of people really is just being a kid

That's actually spot on. I've already made a business out of what used to be my hobby. But like you said once something turns into "work", shit changes. I don't consider it my hobby anymore, but work that I "have" to do.. or else I can't pay my bills or whatever. But making a living from something you actually enjoy, or even once enjoyed is the shit.
The thing is not everyone has the opportunity to make something like that a reality, right? Well maybe, I guess it depends how driven you are.

I spent my childhood wondering what it would be like to not be where I was.
I spend alot of my adult life wondering what it is going to take to get me to where I want to go.

Apparently you think that making goals and working towards achieving them is a dream, and that turning back into a child is a plausible escape from the nightmare you have found yourself in.

i don't personally consider establishing/achieving goals a dream; i find them to be a 'near-necessity' to gain desires beyond base requirements to sustain my life. personally, i'm not sure if i have a 'dream' (an ultimate goal?) anymore. i'm moving on from the remaining, relevant outcomes of my past, and i don't think a future is tangible. there is NOW, only NOW, and can only ever be NOW. and a trillion+ NOWs have proceeded between the previous sentence and this sentence. most of us, when it occurs, long for the 'past' not because of what it was, but because we've cherry-picked the precious, warming moments while discarding the bulk of the other things that occured, good or bad, for better or worse. something else about the 'past', humans have an amazing knack for, purposely or accidentally, remembering events incorrectly from how they actually happened; this makes it easy to believe anything one wants, and can be made easier through practice. i'm not saying traumas can be completely removed, though they can be smoothed over or forgotten about in the conscious mind.

I miss partying 24-7 at times but as a whole no. I took care of my bed bound gma from age 16 to 21 8-12 hours per night /A.m. Not only did I rarely party but it was almost impossible to meet women (I was also homeschooled). Adult life is incredibly not fun,tough unfair but the freedom is pretty worth it.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hmm I guess that's a subjective one. My answer would be life.
Even though you're still bound by biology and society, you get to continue living and learning. And most of all experiencing life. We're all held back by limitations we have no control over, but we have to make the best of it.. cause there's no other option. Except death.

I miss being told I could follow my dreams before I knew how much the same people who told me that would shit all over me for actually doing it.

No, there were good days here and there, but it was consistently volatile otherwise
Certainly nothing to be missed, while on the other hand I have had many memorable chapters as an adult and much more to look forward to

It's much easier to make friends when you're young for many people on Earth, because your FORCED to go to school with thousands of other carefree kids who just want to play, and who live in curiosity and spontaneity, instead of solidified belief systems taught to them by adults and society.
Once your an adult, nobody forces you to go hang around thousands of adults who just want to fuck around and have fun. As an adult, you have to get out there and seek out other people who are doing hobbies you enjoy, and go meet them, and find that bond again. Go into nature and go play, go have fun.
Remember, you don't stop playing because you get old....
...you get old because you stop playing.

Yes I do miss it being a young kid it was like the goonies or stand by me we had a really big imagination with lots to explore and play
That is what I do now from time to time bike into nature and enjoy it feels good don't have to worry about time or anything I like to watch life the bugs they are my friends I don't know anyone that likes to do stuff like that anymore
Most people I know are always hurting sick or down seems like everybody gave in not sure if that is the right word
Everyone I used to know they all have a completely diffrent life now and that is good
Hurt my feelings a bit when one of my friends from being 4 years old told me he wants a new life now goodbye i respect it just seems like life is so short why be that way
I really never hurt anyone either no lie
That is what everybody did slowly without warning
Tried talking to about 12 people or so throughout a few years and nobody wanted to communicate most didn't respond at all hurt at first don't care anymore those pepole wouldn't give me a chance to talk anyway in person
One thing I remember about being a kid and this is almost the same today the people around me were always fighting my friends everybody
I was always in the middle wouldn't fight don't talk bad about anybody

Its a shame people are still taught to be nice and kind. All the suckers believe it and spend the rest of their lives like you, the normal people realize you just have to convince people that you ARE nice and kind, then immediately start being an awful person to them. I don't know a single person who I would consider truly "good" who lived a satisfying life. If you never take what you want you never get anything.
Also people don't respect people who won't engage in conflict, it makes them feel subconsciously dominant over you so they treat you like shit
I might not be a very likable guy, but people treat me with respect cause I don't take shit from nobody. Also cause I'm crazy and they're afraid I might kill them 
Which is fine with me, I'd rather see fear than derision in someone's eyes

Just because you have never met a genuinely good person does not mean they do not exist.

I don't disagree SS, but many of the one's I've been (and are) friends with whom seem and present as such, I've seen for myself aren't entirely that. I've met many I don't know 'personally' that seem such, but then I don't know them personally.

Death seems impossible as a youth. Playing video games all night was fun. Could eat mountains of ice cream. Had all the energy and some discipline too. Pain was easy to separate from. Emotions were more difficult to understand and I still don't well.
Lot's of things happened I wouldn't care to relive at any age.

Its not a mind game, people are pussies and get intimidated really easily. Except for one tiny little woman that I just straight up despise, I've never actually gone apeshit on anybody, its mostly just general anger and frustration at my bullshit job. And I've never threatened anybody.
Its not my fault people are cowards, but I'll sure as hell use it to my advantage if at all possible

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
