A free write, prompt word: Give me back my childhood
The little me kept wondering how this day would be, how being accountable to my deeds, my words will feel. It won't take the time I have always known but how fast it will rush is what unforetold. Taking responsibilities and having to care for me even for others, all these were already expected, but no one told me it could be this handful, nature never told me it would stop petting me like it used to. My mother never told me she went through this stress to mould me into this adult I become. Now I see things for myself, I feel like going back to that little bright star that never had anything to worry about, she does nothing other than shine and dazzle, the playing ground was her working place as she paid so much attention to it, only hunger can send her home, if not she would work till dawn. Here I am reminiscing over those special moments, oh! how I miss being a kid. How I miss crying over nothing, how I miss crying for everything even when I have all I must devise a means to cry, it gives me perfect satisfaction. Why have I become an adult overnight, the time has stolen that beautiful moment away from me, I can't bath without entering that stuffy room or dress up in the sitting room with everyone around as I used too, everything has grown big now that I have to package them in undies. Is this what being an adult is all about? Please take me back, give me my childhood and take your stressful adulthood. Never thought it would be this tedious, you should have asked me first if I really want to carry this task before dumping it on me, well now I am telling you, I don't want it, give me back my stress-free life. But wait a minute, does this mean I am quitting?🤔🤔🤔 No, I am not, I just need a relief from this caged phase. @Dreamer and @Tunuu, do you miss your childhood like I miss mine?

In fact, sometimes things get tough until I want to go back to childhood but unfortunately it is no longer possible! The only thing that gives me strength to not give up is when I remember that later I will be a father! I would like to have a very good family, my children and my wife will be my greatest comfort.
I love that, it's a good consolation. Childhood experience is always sweet, but being a parent will be sweeter I believe
I believe that too, especially when you have a partner that you really love and starting a family together! At that moment, nothing will attract me to be a child anymore.
That's nice
