I Miss the Simple Joys from My Childhood

When I was a child, I was a foodie and loved street food, but we couldn't afford it most times(Unfair life/ rough times). I remember how special it was when my mom occasionally brought me my favorite street food, 'Samosa.' Those moments were the best.

Now, I earn a decent amount and can afford things for myself and my family. I often buy my mom her favorite treats, but I personally don't enjoy anything like I used to. Sometimes, I think about going out to have a Samosa or other fast food, but then I worry about hygiene or diseases. I've never drunk or smoked; the only thing I loved was street food. But now that I can afford anything, I don't feel like eating it.

As a child, I used to dream of earning a lot of money one day. Now, it seems like money is the only thing I care about.

I wish I could be that child again, who was happy just to get an occasional Samosa.

It feels like I matured too soon, which I didn't want. I want to eat my favorite food sometimes without thinking about anything else, just savoring the moment and the nostalgia. I don't know how to get that feeling back.
