this thread is dope. i read the whole thing.
here's my two cents:
death is creeping up on us old timers. i'm only 21 and i feel decrepit. so as someone else said, it's easy to naively idealize childhood. but for self-employed stay at home internet hustlers like, well, at least half of us (i hope, gfy is riddled with wannabes), don't you think we might be overly appreciating our childhoods and simply living in the past?
face it, part of being a kid definitely sucked. having zero freedom. waking up at 7am everyday for school.
but the way i felt as a kid was so much more intense. with age comes a type of emotional dullness, basically turning aging people into sociopaths. when you walk outside now, do your senses light up still? do you still see a world of fresh adventure, opportunity and beauty? or do you see a played out pointless universe that you've grown weary and nihilistic of?
pros and cons.
