Why Men Long to Relive Boyhood

Speaker 1

Yeah, I guess where does that, you know, where does that leave me? You know, because you hear men... Well, through chat rooms you hear men who wanna, like, relive boyhood. Um, I don't know about women, uh, you know, in the chat rooms if they wanna live girlhood. Uh, but I know that there's chat talk of men, I think, who wanna relive or they wanna visit their, you know, their boyhood again, their sports boyhood, um, something about their boyhood they wanna visit again. Perhaps it's their sports, perhaps it's their, you know, they wanna see their peers again, uh, or they're, you know, they have memories of younger days, you know. Um, they, they might have memories of, of the younger days. Uh, maybe, maybe it's because they felt better, you know, they felt better back then, um, about their position in life, you know. Uh, you know, but I mean, I wonder... You don't, y-you know, you don't, you don't hear of it though, uh, among, like I said, common talk or common socialization. You don't really hear men come out and say, "Gosh, you know, I wanna play, you know, little league again," you know? Or, "I wanna relive certain things about boyhood, like summer camp or..." Um, you don't really hear of it, you know. You don't really hear of... At least I don't, you know. Um, y-you, you don't, you don't hear of it. Chat rooms, yes, you-- I think you hear of it. Whether it's who they say they are, I don't know. But you, you, you will hear, I think, stories about men who wanna live, relive something about their boyhood, you know. Um, I will say that. I think there's, somewhere out there, there's a culture that is in tune with that, but I don't, I don't hear it talked about in the general public. I just don't. Um, maybe, like I said, you just haven't ran across the same, or I guess you haven't visited, uh, the YouTube video titled, you know, Men Who Wanna Be Boys Again, or Men Who Wanna Relive Boyhood Again, uh, or men who, um... What would I say? Men who, um, daydream about their boyhood at times, if that makes sense, you know. Um, you don't hear of it, uh, not, not really in the media. I mean, you know, I guess I've watched stuff, you know, movies and things like that. I d-- I don't really hear a discussion too much about it, you know. It's just not, not there, uh, you know. I, I don't know. It's not common. It doesn't seem common in the general public, like it's, you know, like it's much for conversation. You know, maybe I'm wrong. You just haven't found the right, you know, people or you haven't said the right thing about it, you know, when you're talking to people. Um, you know. So, you know, so I, I, I think though that, um... You know, I think... I don't know. I think that... You know, I think that, um, it probably does exist somewhere. It's just, like I said, you know, you gotta watch the right YouTube video. Like I said, men who wanna relive boyhood, or visit boyhood again, or, uh, you know, or whatever. Something about their boyhood. Like I said, summer camp, sports, school, uh, church, um, you know. Uh, it, it, it, it could be, it could be anything, you know? So, I don't know. Um, but who-- But like I said, I don't, you know... Uh, if I think about that though, where does that leave me? You know, if I spend a lot of time daydreaming about boyhood and the past, where, where does that leave me? You know, where does that, where does that leave me in my development? Where, where am I at then? You know, am I disconnected? You know, am I, um, do I not find the right culture? Um, the right culture of people really who share a common, you know, expression about that or a common similarity or, you know, a common thought, you know. Perhaps you don't, you don't find that. Um, but like I said, maybe it's, you know, men don't, you know, men don't really think about it much. You know, they don't think about their, you know, their childhood. Maybe they do more than we realize. I mean, I don't know. I don't know enough about the topic. You know, I mean, I, I don't, I don't know if a lot of men think about their childhood. Maybe they do. You know, maybe they do. I'm just not really aware of it, or I'm not consciously, consciously aware of it, that m- it more, it happens more than you think. You know, they think about when they were a kid, you know, they were a young kid. Maybe there's just something they think about a lot when they were a young kid, and there's probably a reason why they... sometimes a reason why they do. You know, where they think about times, you know, where they felt, like I said, where they felt, uh, you know, where they felt, uh, better. Like I said, I always escape, I think, out to Rural Route Two out in the country just because I think, like I said, I think things were different when we got to Rockwell City. It, you know, it wasn't the same crowd anymore. You know? Um, it wasn't the same, it wasn't the same crowd anymore. It was a different crowd in Rockwell City. You know, it wasn't, you know... I mean, Stacy had his friends that came out in the, visit in the country. James had his friends that visited out there and, you know, and then I had, you know, a birthday party or something out there. Um, so, you know, um, so yeah, I think, um, you know, I think, um, uh, you know, that, um, I, I think, you know, we retreat somewhere, and we gotta figure out why do we go on these retreats in our mind, you know? But sometimes it is about our childhood, but why? You know, why do we think so much about it? Why do we spend time on thinking about it? Uh, why do we spend time thinking about the past? You know, uh, and those days, you know, those so-called early days or whatever. Why do we, why do we think about it? Why do we go, why do some of us go there, you know? So, I don't know. Um, I, I, like I said, I think the YouTube video is probably titled Men Who Wanna Relive Boyhood, you know. And it, like I said, there's probably a, a video about it, you know, maybe so.
