It's only in hindsight that you realize what indeed your childhood was really like.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Well, most grown-ups forget what it was like to be a kid. I vowed that I would never forget.
Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages; I was still a child.
You know, as an only child, you're kind of in a bubble, and there are all sorts of things about my childhood that I still can't really place.
My childhood was endless - from eight to 18 felt like hundreds of years.
I have worked very hard on being aware of my childhood but moving forward and not letting it bring me down emotionally. That is a hard thing - especially when you have children of your own and you remember what happened to you at that age.
I don't really have childhood-type memories. I had to grow up very young.
I think because I'm not a parent, my most immediate connection to childhood is my memory of my own childhood.
To have your childhood dream realized is a really big deal.
I've always reverted to a sense of childhood, just in everyday life.
I think you never forget your childhood, whether it was happy or unhappy.
