Childhood is embraced with innocence, kindness, curiosities, exploring little little things and many more.
Likewise, adulthood is being yourself, being able to stand for yourself, able to take your own decision, being responble etc..
I think both are good at their respective places. Being a child one does not have any responsibility, like a free soul. On the other hand, being an adult one can take its own decision, can do anything without any restrictions.
But the interesting thing is that we always desire what we don't have and valued it. Like in my childhood l wanted to be an adult. And now being an adult I want to go back in my childhood day, what a irony of life.
