For me, it's playing Mario Kart on a Nintendo DS. 🚗

Also, a bakery in my town. They've moved places now, but it still reminds me of happy memories going there after school.

Video games definitely remind me of my childhood, when times were good. Sonic the Hedgehog & Super Mario are my all time favourites. It makes me happy reliving those memories and moments, taking me out of the misery I live in now.

@SilverSeastar

Thank you Silver for this lovely yet memory rewinding post💓

👾 How are you? How was your day?

Despite the usual challenges, I am feeling good. These days seem to be passing faster than usual, and I find myself constantly racing against the clock. Today, I started a new project, which demands a significant amount of responsibility. But I am enjoying my time. I managed to spare some time to check out the forum posts and 7 Cups. 😊

👾 What reminds you of your childhood?

I consider myself a child and I often playfully argue with my mom because sometimes she doesn't see me that way.😃 But if we go by my biological age, childhood is a cherished and sweet memory for me. I enjoyed my days with nothing to worry about, no need to think too much, just being myself - innocent yet a bit mischievous angry bird. Those were the days filled with reading, learning, and leading my brothers and sisters. As a child, we didn't have to worry about financial constraints, education, career, or anything serious. I was quite mischievous, there's a famous story about it, but it's not worth mentioning here, where I pranked all my friends. If we overlook the scoldings from my mom, everything is perfect and blissful. 😊 But Sometimes, I do enjoy my scoldings' memory.

Though I lived my childhood between late 2000's and early 2010, I think this thing has taken part of everybody's childhood...

The morning dove.

Just imagine waking up at 7 am, your window is eaten by the sunrays and a warm breeze enter in your room while you're still laying on your bed, and you suddenly start hearing that bird singing...just lovely ð¥°ð¥°

for me it's playing twilight princess on a Wii, or anything with a Wii, actually, and reading really thick books, and crocheting.
