Childhood

Period of your life when you’re aged 4 to 12. Something precious. You only get it once. It’s the best time of your life, but you don’t realize that until it’s over. You have almost no worries or responsibilities. The world goes easy on you. Most kids want to grow up because they’re naive and think that adulthood is a good thing. Your childhood slips away, fast. It’s not a specific moment, but rather a gradual process lasting about 3-6 months. This happens around age 13 when your voice deepens and your nuts get bigger. This is the point you start realizing that being a teenager isn’t so great after all. But by that point, of course, it’s too late. Because congratulations, your childhood is gone for good and it’s never coming back. The closest thing you’ll get to childhood is watching your own kids grow up. You’ll tell them to enjoy it while they can but they’ll ignore that advice just like you ignored it from your parents. And then the cycle goes on.
