It, a time off confusion because I was not the skillful in sports, I was go enough to play but never excelled. I got into enough trouble to keep life interesting and keep my parents wondering. But my father had faith in me when I had no faith in myself. I was a social pass in high school. Because they did not want to see me the following year. Socially slow. At least three neighborhood girls offered themselves to me , to no avail. I had to get away from the extant social pecking order to start to reach out. Childhood stuff. I have a boy scout Neckerchief slide that my Dad carved for me. A turtle and a pathfinder compass.

I still have a shoe box full of plastic dinosaurs that I played with all the time when I was a kid. I was fascinated by dinosaurs from a very early age.

After my mom died years ago, my sister went through her stuff and found my old teddy bear and gave it to me. I had slept with that bear for years from the time I was born. I was surprised by how small it was. Most the velour was worn off and it was just brown fabric. Plus, it had buttons for eyes and I remember that my mom had to sew on new ones every once in a while over the years.

Yes, I am sentimental about my childhood. I kept some dolls and toys from those years. Sometimes I look at them and realize I am not attached to the object itself, but to the feeling surrounding it. The innocence. The comfort. As children, we wanted to grow up quickly because adulthood looked like freedom. But no one tells you that growing up also means losing certain things forever - the simplicity of joy, the softness of imagination, the ability to exist without constantly worrying about the future. Maybe that's why people keep pieces of their childhood.

With 12 we moved from one country to another and my childhood stuff had to go. Most things landed on recycling center, my "precious" Monster High doll collection got my younger cousin.
I tossed my teddy bear and other 'Pluschies' personally in trash container. Only if you can kill something you really love, you know what love means.

I guess verry sentimental in some ways. Walking in the desert all day climbing up on the sides of mountains and building little rock forts way up there. All that is still there placed by my own hands long ago. Other personal objects kind of remind me of the shity homelife I had. What I made in the desert seems almost religious to me now.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Quite!! I saved LOADS of stuff from my childhood and other phases of life but, over the years, mom took it upon herself to throw away anything she didn't want me to have and, 6 years ago, I lost nearly everything else thanks to my evil, greedy, ex-sisters!!

I am a little sentimental about my childhood, but I can't think of anything that I have kept right off hand. My siblings and I are clearing out the house that we grew up in, and we are throwing away a lot of stuff! LOL

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

My childhood was mostly pain, loss and unkept promises. As much as I want to forget it, that stuff kinda fuels me to be who I am now.

I really miss the friends that I had when i was in grade school but I really do not have any artifacts from it. It was a long time ago.

Anonymous · Answer

I would be if I looked back. I try to keep my eyes on what's in front of me though. Yesterday is over and tomorrow is not promised. So enjoy today. Because today is really all we have, and then it's gone.

JamesRandiDebates · Answer

I didn't enjoy childhood, so I'm not nostalgic for it at all. I have/keep a few pictures my mother sent me as she was downsizing. Nothing else.
