How often do you remember your growing up years? I do remember those days with such fondness that I sometimes wish I can roll back the hands of time but this cannot happen, I sometimes fantasize that its possible though, I remember those days when we party with careless abandon as teenagers, make new friends, those days when men were boys but well I still try to catch up but its not as it was the only good thing about all this now is the pictures of those days. Some of the friends we made are lost some we see, other we don’t even whatever happened to them.
How do you see your growing up days? mine was a mixture of sweet ,lazy and hardworking days of learning and growing up, I have no regrets though but would change some of the story if I can not because they were bad but because as time went by I realize I could have done better

This is a good topic. I remember my growing up years were perhaps the best ever in my life. I had an awesome time with neighbors, friends and relatives.
I was quite notorious and my mom would always scold me. Those were the highlights of my life..

The things that i remember was my memories with my grandparents. The love and care they extended and the patience and understanding.
The love of father that i don't received that they gave, was the thing i could not experience on this time.
My childhood days are full of action like others say, emotional moment, funny and free. I could do what i wanted to do either mama will spank me or not. I received spank if i done serious faults like not being in the house at night after school. I left the house without asking permission and spend time in the sea from morning to afternoon without lunch.
We done such faulty things together with my cousin's and we used to laugh at not laughable stories, things, or actions or conversations. We spent time together every June 24, that i really missed now.

Whenever I see my son growing, I can't help but compare my childhood and how I am during those days. Although we were on a different era, his mostly on technology while mine mostly on playful youth. Well, it don't bother me at all but reminiscence of those old memories rekindle every time I see my son growing and how he discovers things his ways.

Oh well, Nostalgia. There are good and not so good memories from almost all of us. Since we can't turn back the time, some of us may feel regret with the things that we failed to do and from the other possibilities that we did not do.

I remember most of my childhood. It was both good and bad. I have no memories prior to me being age 5 years and 11 days old. My very first memory was on that exact day. My daddy left me in the waiting room of the hospital while he went upstairs to get my new baby sister and my mother to bring home. He gave me a present to open while I waited, it was a doll. It was 1966.
If I could turn back time though I would go back to right before I got married. Say about 1983. I would be a better wife.
