My childhood was as fun as I remember it, and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. Still, I could never think of going back as a child maybe if my memory was erased, because f.eks when I try to watch some movies that I remember from my childhood which I loved at the time when I try to watch it as an adult, I often get disappointed and don't get the same feeling and enjoyment as I remember. My theory is because when you are a child, everything is unknown and interesting, and not to be rude, but when you are a child, you are kind of dumb and simple, so you can enjoy more simple and dumb entertainment. So with the experience and knowledge as an adult, I would not go back. If I were a child, I would probably say I want to be a child forever, or I can also remember me thinking,(i can't wait till I become an adult.)maybe I thought that because then I would have more freedom to do as I want, some say that you have more freedom when you are a child because you have fewer consequences and less responsibility. Still, I think when you are an adult you have real freedom even though you have more responsibilities as an adult you have full control over your life, instead of being chained by inexperience and your parents, you can basically do whatever you want when you want an ice-cream no one is stopping you if you want to go out with friends no one is going to deny you from doing that. So, in summary, if I were going back to being a child, I would want to erase my memory because knowledge and experience make it uninteresting and unexciting, but I would never want to forget my childhood memories, and I like to have complete control of my life. So, in my opinion, an adult is best. Ultimately, the journey from being a child to an adult is a full package. I could never think of only experiencing one of them; when you are a child, you learn to enjoy it. When you are an adult, you learn to control, and together, combined; you get the enjoyment of life.
