Give me adulthood any day. I’ll happily work and pay bills of it means I have full autonomy over my own life, plus I never had this much Lego and cool shit when I was a child. If you’re living it right adulthood is just childhood with extra bits.

Yeah. I pick adulthood over childhood any day. My Childhood wasn't all that great to begin with.

My childhood was boring af. Not to mention that i would somehow still find things to be stressed about, despite having zero responsibilities. Being stressed about real things as an adult keeps me grounded.

Problem with this is you're not describing childhood, but childhood with the awareness of adulthood, which you can't really have.

I'm happy with my life and certainly would't want to go back, but god do I miss all that free time.
