For the average human/man, adulthood is the most overrated experience ever

[JackRoss]

Childhood is so short, too short in fact.

Nah. It seems like time moves slow as fukk. When you're an adult time seems like it's moving in warp speed lol.

But really to your point, we have WAY fewer years as kids than we do as adults. 0-17 is nothing compared to 18-depending on life choices

I wanna go back to 0-17

Life choices and adult decisions

My experiences have broadened so much, how could I want to be a child /teenager again? My whole world was strip mall movie theaters, and taco shops, and my high school, essentially just a small part of my city, and even smaller part of the world.

*I had never been out of the country
*I had never been to a Michelin star restaurant, or even knew what that meant
*Was in love with the same 3 girls for years, who lived within a 5 mile radius of me, never knew girls from other cities, or other countries, with totally different life experiences.

But some youngsters talking crazy to their parents, while living in their house..

Then when its time to put on the boss pants, its a problem?

They don't know how good they have it. No bills, relatively stress free life and the only thing they have to worry about was doing well in school (unless you are a victim of constant bullying of ofcourse)

It can be...Late 20's/Early 30's making six figures with no attachments to anything or anyone. I beg to differ.

Hence why I stated in the OP that it doesn't apply to successful people.

Unfortunately it's crowded at the bottom of the totem pole and the inequality continues to grow wider.
It literally reached breaking point for most Chileans who took to the Streets last week in massive protest.

But what about your life quality. I'm willing to bet your childhood was less stressful.

Stress is the biggest health risk factor and most adult are stressed the fukk out.

I prefer adulthood. I make my own money, answer to myself, make my own decisions, get what I want, do what I want, am in the career that I want, pursuing the hobbies I want, accomplishing the things I’ve set out to accomplish and continuing to learn, improve and grow. I have more wisdom, more life experiences, and plenty to look forward to with a more realistic frame of mind.

It’s very freeing tbh, my only issue is that time often feels too short. I be feeling sorry for my son, who is in a much different boat. But I guess this is where things will be subjective, if you’re not living the life you want or thought you’d have, and aren’t doing that well economically then I can see why it would feel like an overrated experience. I can’t imagine feeling that way, it sounds incredibly depressing.
Stress does suck, but I’ve found that everything is fleeting and temporary, you’ll have periods of times where you always feel stressed, and other times where things feel like they’re going right and working out. You’ll have happy times, hardships, accomplishments, failures etc. that’s apart of life, and I think that’s what builds character and helps us grow.

But that's a helluva disclaimer.

Unsuccessful kids, kids in poverty...shyt is equally as fukked up if not moreso because you yourself may not have the option to do anything about it.
