What’s one childhood memory that you constantly remember that genuinely makes you happy?

Nostalgia

I know people have a lot but if you had to choose just one that stands out above the rest what would it be?

I don’t know why but I always think back to the summer of 2010, I got my first Xbox live account (I used to have to play online on my dads account before this) and I just remember everything that day going perfect. I did not have a single issue in the world and I just turned 10 a few months prior. I woke up at 8AM knocked on my friends and we went out on bikes for a couple of hours. I then had to go out with my mam as she needed to go shopping, I got a new game which included a gold membership (reason I was able to get Xbox live lol) and ate good food. As soon as I got in I didn’t even play my new game I jumped on MW2 and could finally play online on my own account. Had a can of monster, windows open for the fresh air and played the game with friends all day/night. Even got to stay up until the early hours as it was a weekend I was nearly able to prestige 😂

I don’t know why but when I’m depressed or bored at work 9/10 that’s the first memory that pops up in my head. I’m aware it’s kinda sad in the grand scheme of things but I can only assume I remember that day clear as anything because It was a good day.
