People making food for me, like every single meal.

Not much, tbh, life is way better now.
But I do miss being able to get completely absorbed in a video game for hours. They just don't have quite the same appeal anymore. But that's okay, there's other fun stuff to do

Probably the breaks from school. More time to enjoy hobbies. Hell, even during the school year I had more time for that stuff. Now it's a knock down drag out fight for free time.

Being taken care of financially. I certainly don't miss school.

Having friends that you'd just go see without any real plans of what to do. Then you go find something to do together.
Actually come to think of it, being married is a little bit like that sometimes. Except she doesn't like all the same things I do.

I used to have such wonder at the world, just looking at the endless possibilities. I've gradually lost it, and it sucks. It kind of feels like the past me died, even though it wasn't all that long ago I was just a little kid.

You can get that feeling back. The world can be a wonderful place. You have to train yourself to see the positive it as accurately as you can see the negative, or else you're not seeing the whole picture, imo. It's like a muscle you improve by working it out.

I miss having people who cared about me.
Oh wait, I didn't have that in childhood either.
Fuck...

Not much, perhaps because my childhood often wasn't that good and I am still under 18 now anyway.
