    I'm sure we all have these things.

    I can think of one thing that I was just reminded of today; I don't like the extreme heat as much as I used to as a kid, or even 5 years ago. I would go outside and sit in the sun with the sunscreen on and tan up all Summer. Today I just wanted to swim and then be under the umbrella. Cold is much more fun for me now.
     
    i used to really, really like anime but i'm not too into it now. i'm trying to get back into it now though. i also used to really like saturday morning cartoons but i never get up at the ungodly hour they air them at anymore. hmmmm. i also used to really like bratz, but not as much anymore. i can't think of anything else besides small obsessions i used to have which i don't count.
     
    Pokemon.

    Although tbh this applies to pretty much everything in life. When you're a kid you're blissfully ignorant of just how shit the world really is. It all just gets worse. Hard to like anything as much, really. Or at all, even.
     
    I used to love apple juice, now I'm just like "meh" like if it's offered I'll take it but I don't really like it.
     
    The idea of graduation. Being young it's all like "yeah, I'll be free from education!" but then you get to it and it's just become "well crap, I haven't properly figured myself out". Right now I'm at the tail end of a diploma I don't care about and atop a mountain of stupid regrets. Always fun.

    I'm jealous of people with well thought-out paths after school...wish I took the time instead of going "screw it, HSC here I come".
     
    Drawing & creating.

    I used to really enjoy drawing. Not so much anymore because I realized I'm not good at it, sadly. =/
     
    i really liked to talk to people as a kid and i was very outgoing. i'm extremely shy now due to social anxiety along with a mass of other things. i think the fact that i was bullied really attributed to that. back then i had no filter, but now i can't say anything out of fear of embarrassing myself.

    the fact that i relate to this so hard frightens me
     
    Sesame Street. I still like Elmo, but I just don't care much for the show because it's changed soooooooooooo much since the time I used to watch it. The only other character I like besides Elmo is Julia. She's an autistic muppet, and she's super cute. <3 I also have to vouch for my previous music tastes as a kid too. I used to be into the Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls back then... but not so much now lol. Then, there's Digimon. I used to be obsessed with Digimon when I first came here because I was form a Digimon forum. I'm not as into Digimon as I used to be ages ago. Same goes for the original Beyblade (before they came out with the newest versions without Tyson & friends).

    Same here.
     
    I was the weird anime kid when I was in primary school as I often wore cat ears to class (might be because Tokyo Mew Mew was the best thing I had ever seen at that time). I have so many cat ear headbands yet nowadays I don't really like wearing them anymore. All kinds of anime stuff also interested me so much when I was 10-12.

    Being with friends also used to be my favorite thing ever when I was a kid but nowadays I appreciate my own peace more. Not that I wouldn't like seeing friends now, I just ended up isolating myself from others whenever I had free time and now I'm not completely sure how to friends anymore.
     
    Power Rangers and Sour Candy. The show is a hot pile of cringe, and I immediately spit out anything sour that enters my mouth.

    On a deeper note, I used to get influenced way too easily. I didn't play Pokemon for years just because I was told that it was lame in middle school. Looking back, it's amazing how ridiculous I used to be. I let no one dictate my thoughts or actions now.
