100 Quotes About Childhood Memories

Childhood is one of the most beautiful and important phases in our life. It may not define us indefinitely, but it certainly influences our future. It’s a phase when you discover and experience many new things, some good, some not so good, but you learn and grow. What I miss the most was how carefree my childhood was. Something that I’ve learned spending time with my younger cousin Emi, is that even the smallest things make him so happy. Childhood is filled with so many fond memories - the time we spent with school friends, the excitement of Christmas eve, our favorite childhood songs. As the saying goes, “Remembering is living again”.
