carefree days
Worry-absent periods lived
Carefree days are times remembered as free from worry or responsibility—usually childhood, youth, or a particularly unburdened stretch of life.
The phrase is almost always nostalgic, looking back at a period that felt lighter than the present: I miss the carefree days of summer vacation.
The plural suggests an extended period rather than isolated moments.
