I miss playing Lego with my sister.

I don't miss being chastized for talking about my obsessions, in fact, it was those memories that led me to being suicidal in High School and College.

I miss how innocent and simple my imagination used to be.

I don't miss the anxiety attacks I used to have.

I miss the pets I had as a child.

I don't miss having to be afraid all the time as I walked the halls in junior high, worrying about bullies.

I miss the females in 1st through 3rd grade who were outgoing enough to surprize me with kisses. I went to a different school for the 4th grade, which is when this phenomena seemed to have stopped.

I don’t miss anything else.

I miss being able to take my friends for granted, they were always there.

I dont miss being made to go into social situations thinking it would be good for me.

The thing I miss the most from my past is my friends. What I don't miss is the fights from when I was in grade 6 and 7.

I miss being allowed to not remember anything that wasn't related to academic knowledge. It's not like I forgot on purpose back then.

I don't miss the way my peers (and older siblings) treated me, especially the name-calling and rude gestures.
