Oh, what I'd give to be a child.
I've forgotten the joys of seeing the world for the first time, the excitement of realizing that there's more to be explored than just the backyard.
I've lost the feeling of total self-confidence, I've lost the ability to think, "I'm going to walk on the moon someday," and really, truly believe it .
I miss the happiness that naivety brings, the wholesome trust and compassion towards everyone you meet .
I long for a clean soul and the inability to be dishonest, for the instantaneous forgiveness for any action because, "It's okay, she's just a child."
I wonder how it feels to get up early, bursting with the delight of knowing that today, just like all of the yesterdays and, of course, all of tomorrows, is going to be a remarkable adventure.
I want back the nights when i was completely dependent on another person, when i was fed, washed, and taken care of,when i went to bed as the same time as the sun, when i curiously watched my parents make sense of nonsensical symbols on pages before drifting to sleep, thinking,
"Oh, what I'd give to be a grown-up."

Hello Mohammed, this feeling is more common than we think. But reality is the world is a hard place to live. I want to share this link, just watch it, and tell me what you think about it:

We are never contented in the state that we are in but this same discontent is also what compels us to dream and to chase after our future! Once in a while it is good to look back so we can be eager to look forward again! :)
Ya abo Humaid, wain? Di ayam madat wa saab rujuaaha. Bas mumkin al wahid yahlam. Those days will never come back again Mohammed A. Amar. We just have to dream!
