I bought myself a pair of Reebok Pumps. Always wanted a pair when I was a kid but we were poor. When Reebok re-released them I bought a pair.

I really like this one! It's so nice that you could do that for yourself

When I finally got a place of my own in my 30s, I kept the shelves stocked with the brightest, sweetest, crunchiest kids cereals. Lucky Charms, Trix, Count Chocula, Golden Grahams. All we were allowed to eat as kids was Corn Flakes and Bran Flakes 🤢

I was never allowed to dye my hair, so soon as I left home I dyed it every colour under the sun. I've dyed it pretty much constantly since.

Rode a bike to see how far I could go. My longest day was around the Santa Ana mountains between Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego Counties. I've ridden all the way around those mountains. My computer went dead at 176 miles but the trip was around 220.
I moved 2k miles across the country one time because of my highschool sweetheart, just to give it a chance. She was not acceptable to my folks for stupid cultist religion reasons.
Not really in the not allowed section, but I had this hotrod camaro that was my little project. I had to move back across country and leave it with a friend. It needed a motor. I worked for a machine shop, built a motor, got a cheap car, tossed the motor in the passenger seat and drove 2k miles. Put the new motor in and sorted out all the kinks on the 2k mile drive back home. I definitely couldn't do something like that as a kid

What did the first leg of the journey accomplish that installing the new motor at the outset and driving 1k miles each way would not?

The only thing I can really think of was that I tried Arby's for the first time in my twenties because as a kid, my mom never took us there because, apparently, when she was a teenager, the Arby's in her home town had someone get arrested for sticking their dick in the milkshake machine. Literally didn't even have any kind of moral issue nor was it about the food!
They're okay... I like the brisket sandwich. The Arby's sauce kinda sucks tho.
There wasn't much I wasn't allowed to do that actually wanted to do that I didn't do; I wasn't allowed to watch Ren & Stimpy or Beavis & Butt-Head, but I still did 😏

Drank a bunch of alcohol and threw my little money on bicycles
