I miss being able to socialize easier

Don't miss my violent abusive nutcase dad

I miss taking trips with my family.

I do not miss my obnoxious teachers & classmates at school.

I miss:-

-Playing imaginary games in the garden on hot summer days
-Going up to your room to play when friends or cousins come round
-Going to those child play centres with the ball pits and big slides and bright colours everywhere
-Having that magical feeling at Christmas
-Party games at birthday parties
-Coming home from school and watching childrens programmes
-Playing with toys
-Getting away with being cheeky or hyper
-Staying by the sea for long weekends in a caravan, doing fun kid stuff with all the family

I don't miss:-

-Catching sickness viruses because of immune system still building up
-Having loose teeth
-Being teased by older siblings
-Putting up with the sound of bells at school (bells were the bain of my school life)
-Being classed as special needs and being defined by my diagnosis
-Having teachers tell your mum if you done something naughty at school, then being grounded
-Starting a new school year after the long summer break
-Homework

Miss-my special holiday and birthday celebrations
All of my very special cats, especially Samantha, Peter, Paul and Prince

Don't miss-bullying and feeling different from other kids throughout elementary and middle school
College professors who espoused a negative philosophy of life
Not driving at the normal age, or doing anything normal until my late 40s
A very scary experience earlier in the year that nearly erased all the improvements I have made over the past couple of years

I miss my grandparents & visiting with them.

I do not miss being told to follow stupid rules.

Rose colored glasses

Living in the moment

Obliviousness

My turntable

My Paddington record

Paddington, Paddington, Paddington pie

A bird can whistle and so can I

Ask me a riddle and I reply

Paddington, Paddington, Paddington pie
