Question:

I miss being a little kid?

I saw a little girl and her brother with their grandma at an ice cream place soooo happy licking their ice cream cones. I wish I could be like that.

I'm only 19, so I know that I'm still very young as well, but I really miss being just a little kid right now. With no worries or problems.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I don't know if you remember, but little kids have problems just like adults. They just seem insignificant compared to adult (your) problems, They're almost worse, as they lack the knowledge and "wisdom" of adults to put these problems in perspective and apply life experience to dealing with them. Also, there's a total loss of control of your own life and body involved with being a child that is very frustrating. Yes, these problems tend not to involve (hopefully) loss of life, home, or other basic adult problems, but since they deal with how their personalities will form for the rest of their life, they're as crucial and important as adult problems are.
And you can still be like that if you try. You just have to learn to live in the pleasure of the moment, dismissing all outside issues. I aspire to do that occasionally, and it's wonderful when I achieve it. In that sense, I totally understand where your coming from. It is nice to *be* a little kid again...sometimes!
