I must remember to subscribe, comment and post my own videos. Seldom I have ever known a person with so much depth, so profound. Most of my childhood memories are bad, actually violent. But one memory was a time I got away from my mother while visiting Puerto Rico. I went to a lake and spent the day either swimming or on a large rock. I remember the sound of the wind, the water, the birds, complete stillness. I was safe. I use that image when I do hypnosis.
too me it's the days when i was a kid and didin't give a damn about anything doing all kinds of stuff having fun, hating school, annoying girls ,watching cartoons...every day i did something...unlike now the summers and winters where like magic back then
I relate ... I remember my 3rd birthday walking around in one shoe, also my Christmas when I was 3, getting a Lionel Train.I remember the most romantic moment of my life when I was 17, at Redondo Beach in LA, and a girl I had a huge crush on came up to me quietly, while I was sunbathing, her shadow crossed the sun, I looked up, it was her smiling face, ringed by subnshine looking down a me, what a moment, ... one never so perfect again .... poetry.
Hi! I sent you a message sometime back about your pajamas. I was hoping you would sell them to me because I'm a guy and I love women's pajamas. You never replied but that's cool. I have women's pajamas and they're so much prettier than yours my dear.
What you experienced was nostalgia. Something triggered a memory from a past time in your life that you miss. Your experience sounds exactly like ones that I have. I'll smell a certain fragrance or here a song on the radio and it takes me back to a certain time of my life that's not here no more. your mind is recapturing those moments around. That's what I experience anyway. I think your videos are cool you seem to be the philosophy type, cool.
I get your thoughts. Just remeber we don't need to give up childhood happiness when we realize the 'facts of the world'. Don't let others steal your freedom of being at a beach, jumping in a river, petting a cat, writing your own play, singing out just because, laughing heartily if you want, .... my point being we all have to conform at times, but not always, and depression for me being wrapped up in obessive thoughts in a very dark place ... I "move" whenever I need to get away from that.
i miss being 7 i had a friend i met when i was 7 we became like attached to he hip and we did everything together. we had this awsome treehouse that we built with our dad's and i was like our own little world we had sleepovers in it we played games and old secrets. but when we turned 11 she moved to washington and i never saw her again. i think about her and all the great times we shared.
With age comes wisdom. But also the loss of innocence. New experiences is what changes people. You're never the same person you were yesterday. "colormeviolet", I'd love to have a long talk with you over a meal. You made me think. P.S. your pretty.
I like you. You have captured my thoughts. I miss being 10. Now I'm 15 comig 16 in May. I just really, really miss my childhood. God. I just want to go back.
I loved playing house. Can you imagine a room full of adults wanting to play house? I guess adults don't need to "play" house cause they can just do it. But it seems that can lack the fun of it.
uhm....well, I cant really say there was a time of my life when this feeling was on everything, I dont remember a time when everything was fair. Yet...I feel I still can bring back that sensation..whenever I am willing to go out there and just do what I want without thinking of what people want, and just share my wants with them...
other things... um yeah homemade popsicles remind me of childhood and happiness too (i guess the two are interrelated to me too). im feeling a bit depressed cuz i can't think of too many things. i think my jaded outlook has turned me into a cynic. um.. those flowers that u blow and like cotton stuff flies around (shit i kinda wanna do that now as irrational as my brain tells me that is)
yeah sometimes my brain will only concentrate on all the hatred and injustice in the world.i almost feel guilty whenever i feel carefree.i should feel thankful and enjoy the simple beauty of life such as trees(and not think about how they were displaced and put there to communicate how "good" a certain neighborhood is)
i've been trying real hard to think about my childhood and what made me feel optimistic back then (obviously i'm neurotic and completely narcistic myself). sometimes favorite foods or music i listened to when i was young ("bitch" by merridith brooks always reminds me of being young)
this is such a good idea for a video. I've been thinking the same things lately -- about childhood and now early adulthood. I recently realized that I sacrifice way too much and don't spend enough time making myself happy.
One thing that I remember as a kid was my fifth grade teacher who would treat us all like her own grandchildren. That was the last year I didn't agonize over grades and actually enjoyed everyday school life.
great video! I often look back on those days and realize how much I took them for granted growing up. I thought those days of no homework would never end!
Positive living, that sure is the way to go, despite the troubles of life. I remember how much I loved being in a little playpen thing with my favourite toys sitting on a soft blanket in my own little space...I miss it. Thanks for helping me remember it xD. I would have done a video response but I can't trust this computer atm so I haven't tried putting any vids on it.
what brings me back back when i was a child was when i was going through my old toys a few months back and then i saw my old box of barbies and anime VHS's i went looking through them and watched the old videos and laughed like i did when i was a kid.
another time was when i was going through my old CDs back from the 90s and i found backstreetboys and other boy band CDs, and i just remember thinking that i was going to marry one of them or something. and it was a funy time back then.
Awesome Vid Hannah! and lets see..things that bring me back...hmm..I'd have to say Playing with clay on pre-school,Nap Time,Crayola,My old mickey mouse lunch box,Playing hide and seek,Hiding from the monster in the closet(yeah i was that dumb XD) and i can go on but..heck!..i wont!=P keep em coming!
Very interesting video! Remembering those good old childhood days - girls jumping rope and boys playing catch, watching cartoons, selling KoolAid - good times!
YAY! Your back!!! I find your blogs to be the most intellectual on youtube, extremely glad your back. :) Is it weird for me to say my grandmother reminds me of innocence? The fact that she spoiled me and gave me toys and games all the time, and around her i had not a care in the world! My gramps isn't living in the states anymore and i have yet to visit her since i was a kid. But i can imagine that when i do see my grandmother again she will bring back those feelings of my inner child.
Another blog! Awesome stuff, this one really got me thinking. I think that everyone's nostalgic towards their childhood in one way or another ― I definitely am and I'm only 16! I don't really know what reminds me of it so much... early bedtimes, crappy TV, not caring about appearance, that kind of thing :D
Heh, the not caring about appearence thing kid of carried over for me. The world expected so much less of you :/
And finally, someone catching on to the fact that our TV was crap... most people I know just gush about how the 90's was the best decade in cultural history. Doubt take--WHAT?? Boy bands... that's all I'm gonna say.
Great video. It is difficult to get in that frame of mind when you get older. I remember the first time I felt that innocent wonderful world. My best friend and I were out at night in the winter just looking up at all the stars in silence. I have not felt that way often since. Maybe that is why I recently got into astronomy. Last week I went to a very dark sky location, the milky way stood out like never before. All thoughts of earthly matters disappeared...it was breathtaking.
That's beautiful. The universe is one of my favorite themes- an indescribably vast, unexplored expanse of dark and light and goes on indefinitely... I feel like we live under a roof most of the time, and people don't bother to take in how much more is out there.
GREAT VIDEO!! I have been running into a lot of negativity at my new job-- the same kind of crap that you kind of touched on. It IS refreshing to think about our childhood 'things'.
My Things: homemade halloween costumes, wading at the beach, the smell freshly cut sweetgrass, building forts in the woods, 4 am on Xmas Day, endless summer vacation, kittens, TGIF (you know it), using ONLY no.2 pencils, Crayola Tempora paint... I could go on.... I LOVE reminiscing... xoxox,
I totally feel what you're saying. It's soo good to have a moment where those old feelings that you had in the past come to the front. It's like feeling the past in your bones, reliving the years gone by. Great video, I love it...and you kick ass!
I did the right thing when I subscribe to you, I think youre a smart young lady like me.
I think that for me it's imagining things and people in like a children's story way you know like Pan's Labyrinth whilst still suffering from the drama in the outside world. I still do that today.
also going to school and putting on make~up in the girls room wearing make up all day at school and then washing it off before I went home, thinking mom was none the wiser. I loved passing notes with my friends to. And the really big one for me about childhood innocence was believing that everyone not only Cinderella would grow up and have a happy ending. I've missed you Hannah. It's good to see you again =)
Ha! I remember doing the makeup thing too :) It was so unfair not being allowed to wear makeup when all my friends did! But now that I can, I hardly wear it at all, haha.
I miss Youtube, I 've been watching some videos but not as much as I have since I finally got internet on my laptop today :) I'll try to force myself to make more videos, o matter how crap they are :)
I'm always so happy to see you especially in your pj's and a home make popsicle on a green stick =) lol Jorja loves it when I make those. I'm so happy to see you happy!! yes when reality kicks in it does suck, but your right it's great to remember childhood innocence.
For me it was watching hardy boys every sunday night and then going to bed and kissing my pillow pretending it was Shaun Cassidy. LOL........wait I have more.
