i don’t think that people understand that when i say “i miss my childhood,” i don’t mean softly going over memories and fondly smiling and sighing over a time gone past. no. that’s not at all what i mean. i mean a demonic ache in the deepest reaches of my soul. an ache of sorrow, of sadness, of anger, of depression, of melancholy. it eats me up every day and it’s the worst kind of emotional torture to be put through, to cry night after night over the state of absolute euphoria, of real happiness, of purity and joy taken away. it’s the most terrible emotion to have. i actively crave that euphoric, joyous feeling every moment of my life where i am conscious and it hurts more and more every second.

it hurts.

What do you miss most about being a child?

I actually wrote about this some time back. Here’s what I wrote:

I miss…

The innocence, the imagination, the creativity, how everything was so new and exciting, truly appreciating the little things in life, getting so much genuine joy from toys and books and games, having limited access to technology, everyone being friendly and open with each other, when holidays were so exciting and special, believing in things like santa and the tooth fairy, being oblivious to any bad in the world, feelings of awkwardness or embarrassment not existing, having no concept of things like time and aging, the naivety, being so carefree, how easy life was, how unaware of my self I was, and in general: the way I perceived the world and life and everything in my mind; the way everything felt in my young mind, so different from how it all feels now.

childhood sounds #2

church bells in the distance, jumping in piles of autumn leaves, going down a squeaky playground slide, rain falling on a car roof, the beeping of flip phone buttons, a grandfather clock chiming on the hour, the school bus engine, classic christmas carols, mourning doves cooing, a skip-it toy being dragged in circles on the pavement, a ballerina music box song, stepping into snow and puddles of slush, feet pounding on a jungle gym, AIM sound effects, putting the lid on a cookie jar, running bath-water, windows XP start up sound,

blowing on a pinwheel toy,

jelly sandals tapping against the sidewalk, scratching on a metal screen door, tv static, nokia phone ringtone, zipping a camping tent, taking off velcro sneakers, drawing and erasing on a chalkboard, a filled pencil case being popped open, pacman game sounds, sneakers squeaking against a gymnasium floor, old christmas tree ornaments knocking around inside a cardboard box.
