I've never understood people that yearn to be a kid again. When I was a kid, especially when I was in high school, I desperately wanted to get all that over with and become an adult. And when I became an adult, things were rough, but I felt so much better for so many reasons.
As I've aged, this sentiment has only been further reinforced by my experiences with aging. Not to toot my own horn, but I've been aging well and have gotten more attractive the older I get (so far). My social skills have improved so much, I was painfully awkward and unable to successfully socialize as a young person. Holy fuck, I actually have real friends and relationships now, it's amazing. Yeah I got responsibilities, but I can actually do things I want to so long as I stay within the confines of those responsibilities, definitely not something I had as a kid either. And honestly, I'm a much better person, which I won't get into too much, but I was closer to being right wing in my younger days.
Sure, it'll stop feeling so great at some point, but I'm kinda past the point where most people start to say getting old sucks and you know what, I say no, it's pretty cool actually.
Benefits I've found of being an adult:
This is something we need to highlight more!
Same but for me that was the institution of the family, not school.
Man cheers to that. Now if I were to get yelled at by someone I have options ranging from punching them in the mouth to saying “I’m not going to put up with this” and simply leaving.
Also if you yell at people, children or adults, on even an irregular basis you belong in prison more than any thief, you’re incapable of living in a civilized society and should be segregated from the rest of us. Grow the fuck up. Would you tolerate a 5 year old yelling at you? Of course you wouldn’t, and you should have more emotional control than a 5 year old.
