Is it normal to miss childhood?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to miss childhood. You may be longing for the freedom, comfort, or simpler routines you associate with it—not necessarily wanting to be a kid again.
Childhood can look especially appealing when adult life feels demanding. You might miss having fewer responsibilities, familiar routines, time to play, or the people and places that made you feel safe. And sometimes you just miss a particular season of your life, even if it wasn’t perfect.
Lots of people feel this way, and it doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful for your life now or failing at adulthood. It can help to notice what you miss most and find a small way to bring more of that into the present—like making time for play, rest, or people who feel like home.
