I always loved this and Little Bear.

Thank you so much this is awesome. Goes along with this:

Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a dream, today is a gift - that is why they call it the present.

I actually hate this sentiment so much. That kids live in some state of nivana and never have worries. Does not match my experience at all, and I find it unreasonably frustrating that so many people love to push this a universal thing.

Back when I was a kid I had to work and study to help my parents, and have to lie to myself that I don’t like any of the fancy things the other kids are having.

ah yes - simpler times when we were kids and everything was magical.

When I was a kid I had to walk to school, barefoot. After school it was right off to the factory where I worked until it got dark.
