When we are kids, we want to grow up and get a job so that we don't have to go to school or so that we won't be bored during summer breaks, and we can have money to do what ever we want.
When we are adults, we think back to those carefree days as kids when we didn't have to do anything. Well maybe a few chores.
Was school really all that bad? I mean, as adults you are constantly struggling to keep up with new technology. You have to continually be learning more and newer information. If you don't learn, you get lost in the shuffle and it becomes impossible to keep up with life.
Were those summer days really so boring? As adults we are working all the time to support families, to pay for essentials and once in a while a nicety or two. Cars, houses, credit cards. It all puts alot of stress on the adult who was once the carefree child.
To all of those "children" out there, and I don't mean that in a negative way, Enjoy your youth. It is fleeting. Don't stress over things that you can't control, and find things to do outside in the sun and fresh air. Live life. Don't sit at your computer, or playing video games all day, and complain about being bored.
To all of those adults out there, we all go through basically the same stresses. Find someone that you can tell all of your most intimate secrets too. It really does help. And if you have children, remember that you were once where they are now. Don't be too uptight with them. Let them be kids.
