I've done a lot of growing up recently and as I've done so I've noticed a lot that certain things that I enjoyed as a child no longer seem appealing, and that makes me sad. The prime example would be Blockland itself (although it is the same with all the video games from my childhood). I miss waking up in the Christmas holidays and booting up my computer, wrapping up warm in a blanket and then scanning the server list for something even as simple as a deathmatch or a City RP. Simple things that would keep me entertained for hours. I miss sharing that excitement with the friends I made on the game whilst playing over Skype and I suppose what I'm trying to say is I miss that feeling of nostalgia.
Nostalgia is a funny thing really, a love for the past that can never be relived. Now I might sound bad saying that the thing I miss most from my childhood was Blockland in the winter but with all of the fond memories of the events and of the creations I'm sure some of you can look back and think the same.
Some might suggest that I should try to have a similar approach to playing that I had back in the day but it will never be the same, and I suppose that is what I miss the most about my childhood; the innocence, the creativity and the excitement of being a child. Something that has been removed whilst I have been growing up and I find this very sad to see.
Tldr; I miss my childhood innocence, creativity and excitement.
