I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

thinking about a young steve harrington traveling the world with his parents before they thought of him as too much of a burden to bring with them. thinking about that same young steve harrington seeing things he'd never see in hawkins, indiana. thinking about how he probably saw nudist beaches, and casual touches between friends at cafes, and men sneaking kisses with other men.
thinking about a young eddie munson who thought that steve was cool because he got to see countries he'd only read about in books. thinking about that same young eddie munson who realized he wanted to see the world, too. thinking about how he wanted to see the world with steve specifically, maybe hold his hand while they walked the streets of paris, maybe sneak a kiss in an alley in rome.
thinking about how both of them had unrealistic expectations for the way the world worked, even in these seemingly magical places, but that's what kids do.
thinking about steve growing out of these thoughts the more he heard his dad yell at him about having his head in the clouds and his imagination was too wild. thinking about eddie having to live with wayne, who would never be able to afford a plane ticket to new york, let alone europe, no matter how much he would want to give eddie that experience. they both lose sight of the dreams they had to go because they're both forced to stay.
thinking about how when they both leave hawkins, it's together, despite the ways they were pulled apart. thinking about how they find happiness in places they never dreamed of, and it's better. it's always better because they're experiencing new things far beyond what their imaginations could've pictured, and they're doing it all together.

Oddly specific, mundane things that are aligned with the 15 fears:
The Eye- Making deep eye contact with a stranger on the platform as the train pulls away.
The Hunt- Wanting something so badly that you can't stay still anymore.
The Buried- Trying to get your phone back when it falls between your bed and the wall
The Vast- Being a child and hearing about how unknowably large Chuthulu is for the first time.
The Flesh- Looking in the mirror and realising your body's changed since the last time you really looked.
The Lonely- Realising you're the only customer at the supermarket.
The Corruption- When you see one ant but once you've focused on it you can see the rest of them.
The End- Holding an antique object and knowing that it's original owner is long dead.
The Desolation- That gut wrenching feeling when you've lost something you know you're not going to be able to get back.
The Stranger- Looking into the eyes of a loved one and not being able to see anything you know in there.
The Spiral- When you say something loud enough to be heard and absolutely nobody processes it or responds.
The Dark- Straining your eyes to try and see something at the end of an unlit corridor that you swear you could almost see.
The Slaughter- Ripping up a letter with your full name and address on and throwing it in the bin.
The Extinction- Being the last player left alive in a survival game and realising that in another life that could happen for real.
The Web- That burning, guilty feeling after you're manipulated into doing something you didn't want to do.
