Life as an adult is a constant battle with time. Adults have to manage their own emotions along with the nuances that affect their daily lives. They are expected to juggle work, stay sane, and protect themselves from the evils of this world all in one. Children, on the other hand, live in a world where time is invisible. They're able to stretch their arms out to the sky and laugh with their friends because words don't hurt as much when you're barely learning them. They don't have the time to care what others think, and they get the luxury of letting the older ones take care of them. In a sense, a child grows up with the mentality that they want to be older because the adults have the most fun. In reality, as they grow up, they look back on their adolescence and wish that they could have that time back, their sense of innocence. Childhood was something that they shouldn't have taken for granted, and as they walk their sore feet from their office job that they hate, they wish that time never left them.
