Are you feeling melancholic this week? Do you miss when your biggest problem was deciding which face paint design you wanted at the county fair? Correct answer: Spiderman, always. Those were the days, weren't they? Instead of paperwork, we had multiplication worksheets. Instead of a 9-5, we had a 7-3. Nobody, not even children, enjoyed waking up before the sun did. But, then we'd have the rest of the day to claim the monkey bars as our territory and play countless rounds of kickball with our best friends.
If you've been missing the simpler times, you're in the right place. Nostalgia doesn't have to be melancholic. Celebrating what we've been through and have experienced only makes those memories more fond, especially when you have children to share those memories with. Everyone's inner child needs some coddling and attention, and today, you'll find your dose of that here. Scroll through these memes if you're looking for a big bear hug of nostalgia that'll make you appreciate your experiences!
