As an Adult, I.

[SassySnivy]

As a kid, I thought it would be nice to have more freedom.

As an adult, I wish I had fewer bills. Also I'm more cynical; sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be naive again. But I really don't miss much about being a kid because I never really grew out of my kid phase, tbh. No one should. We should all relearn how to see the world with the same curious wonder as children do...and pursue your interests like children do!

This is my favorite quote ever:

"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
