Don't grow up


When you're a kid, you'd always hope that you could grow up faster. To you, being a kid sucks. Your parents won't let you eat more than one candy a day; you only get to play with plastic toys; your teacher is constantly repeating the same words every day in school; your exams are about colouring animals or drawing your pet.

Then you grow up and start to experience the world. You get to stay up late at night, drive to the movies and hang out until you feel like it; you get to eat whatever you want without your parents saying you can't; you get to play with all those electronic gadgets, like your phone, your XBox, your laptop; you even get to move away from your nagging parents when you go to college and be a free bird.

But slowly, you realize that things are not always picture perfect as it seems. Friends betray you and talk behind your back; money is always an issue and you constantly find yourself broke; You study your ass off the night before, but when you see the exam paper you still can't answer a single question and end up failing.

And then, you wish you were a kid again where you wouldn't need to face all these problems; when the hardest question to answer was what flavour of candy should I buy from the candy store.
