Reliving Your Childhood

It's all about the nostalgia.

It was enjoyable being a child. You had little to nothing to worry about when you were younger. You didn't have to worry about getting a job or paying off student loans or paying your phone bill every month or anything that you have to worry about when you're older. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could go back to being children when we were much happier and had a lot more fun in life? Unfortunately, science and technology haven't gotten to the point where that's possible yet. However, there are ways that you can bring yourself back to the good old days of when you were a kid and relive some of the nostalgia.

Probably the easiest way to relive your childhood is to re-watch TV shows you watched when you were a kid. For example, I watched a lot of cartoons as a kid. I still watch cartoons to this day, many of which are cartoons I watched when I was younger. I enjoy the good memories I get from watching shows like "Ed, Edd n Eddy," "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" and "Rugrats." There are many times when I watch these kinds of cartoons now where I find myself remembering exact times when I watched them years ago. I remember exactly where I was when I was watching a certain episode. Sometimes I even remember exactly what parts of an episode I laughed it. It truly is a magical experience.

Another thing you can do is play a game you used to play as a kid. For example, when I was a kid, I played Yu-Gi-Oh! quite a bit. I kind of grew out of it after a while and stopped playing for a few years, but I started playing again a couple years ago and all the good memories of me plying the game back in the day immediately came back. Even though the game has changed a lot over the years, I still enjoy playing a game that I grew up with. I've played the game on and off since it first came to the United States and I've always been a fan of it. Playing any game you used to play as a child can bring back good memories of past times you played the game.

Finally, you can do something you did as a child. For example, I rode Thomas the Tank Engine for the first time about twelve years ago at a Thomas the Tank Engine 60th Anniversary festival. Five years later, I did so again at a Six Flags. This past weekend, I did so again at the Edaville USA amusement park. I didn't care that I was much older than the target demographic. That didn't stop me from enjoying myself.

At the end of the day, nobody can be a child forever. That being said, you can relive your childhood whenever and however you want. It's always great to relive good memories.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
