hey I think all of us were dying to be 18 when we were 12!! C’mon people I dont think being an adult is that bad a deal. The key to keeping the kid inside alive is to stay happy on the outside.

long-standing memory is built in childhood and anything that happens in the formative years stays fresh in our memory. I still remember thinking that my grandpa’s bed was huge as a 4 year old. I didnt think the same thing when I saw it again at 14.

We all do what we have to do to get through certain situations, no matter if we are children or whether we are adults. There may be huge age differences but in the end we are all looking for the ways that we need to safeguard our psyches and give ourselves inner peace. That much is always going to be true no matter our age. No one wants to have a crappy memory or experience so from a very early age we learn to sugar coat things and deal with situations in ways that make us feel safer and less threatened.

That journalist makes adulthood sound depressing! Adulthood brings the joys of having your own family with it and shaping your child’s world. He’s forgetting the love that’s shared. Just because you get older you don’t have to lose your sense of playfulness.

I know adults that have never grown up and children that are old beyond their years. Chronological age has nothing to do with maturity other than physical.

Childhood really can make or break us as adults. I’m so thankful most of my memories were those of bliss and good fun.
