Had you ever wished...

To Become an innocent kid again.
remember when the world was mysterious and wonderful.There was nothing outside your world.There was no pressures and you always had the feeling that everything will always be alright because someone stood over you.
Unfortunately we all exchange this for knowledge and responsability.I think that we were being stupid.Childly innocence is the best feeling we could ever feel.
I miss that feeling alot.It was gentle bliss.

What do you think?

 

I do and I don't. I miss it because it was so much more relaxed. No coursework deadlines, work, social status etc. It was just having fun. No politics, no religion (hopefully) and little awareness of what was going on in the rest of the world.

But I don't miss being ignorant. It feels so good to know things and be able to explain things to people. I can still ask questions because there is a lot to learn, but I have already learned so much. I wouldn't give up all that knowledge for the world, not even blissful ignorance.

 

Hmm...that is a kinda good question
I never wished that

 

I am a kid!!! I'm 11 yers old!!! *~* NIce to meet your aquatince!! *~*

 

Took the words right out of my mouth..well keyboard.
It was fun not having a care in the world, just livin life for that moment
but it sort of makes me wish i lost my purity earlier
for the exact reasons Bunterx stated.
bliss in ignorance is just...ignorant

 

It was a very good feeling. But also, the most minuscule things were a big deal at the time, as well. Nonetheless it was fun and very wonderful.

I have to say I'm happy that I went from that to what I am now. The endless pursuit of knowledge is absolutely something a wonder in and of itself that I consider my new childhood.

 

Yeah, I like looking back at my childhood, dig up memories and such. There are some things I'd like to redo, or even things that I'd like to do differently.
But I'm not a dreamer per se. It was fun while it lasted but it's time to move on. Pressure and responsibility are a part of life, and they aren't necessarily bad either.
I see where you're coming from though.

 

I agree with you there but sometimes i just think that my want for that safety and security out wieghs my want to retain my knowledge and wisdom.

 

Definitely. From what I remember, the summer of 1996 was the best time of my life. Then a few years later, I went to pre-school and got introduced to a lovely bunch of kids called 'bullies'.
I miss not having to worry about being accepted to groups, and not worrying about studies and what I'm gonna do with my future.
I miss playing with toys and my sisters.
I wish I hadn't grown up so fast.​

 

I miss it on occasion. I miss not having to worry about my test scores, social acceptance, my future; sometimes I think I'd give up a lot just to go back to that time where I didn't have so many fears and worries.

 

Yes and no.I wanna be a kid again,but be an adult at the same time.Have my mind in tact do i'll know just WTF I'm doing.

 

I've caught myself wishing that a lot lately, only because things are so stressful for me these days. When I was little, all I was worried about was being able to play outside and hope it would stop raining. But now I have to worry about deadlines, reports, homework, projects--a whole bunch of stuff. Not to mention puberty. Dx

When you're little, you have ignorance. Ignorance is bliss.

But I also like the fact that I'm older and can speak my mind with people actually hearing me out and understanding me. When you're older, people take you more seriously, which is a good thing in most cases.

 

Yes I do.

 

Yes. And no. If I were younger-I would still wish that I had never found out about the war or anything at my age now, no. Then I'd just feel like an idiot as nice as it would be.​

 

sometimes, best thing about being ignorant is not knowing you are. but i enjoy growing up as well, that in itself is very new and even though it can be a pain in the a$$ at times, it's interesting and full of stuff to learn.

 

I dont i am quite fond of whats going on in my life right now. I have a job i got to college and i have a very BEAUTIFUL girlfirend that i am in love with.

 

I really wish those days were back, partly so I could have fantastic story ideas to just pick from the air and it's my own creations. Not make something I based something off of, ya know? But I kind of like having a knowledge of things, so I can have a better grip on reality. I still miss the days of make believe heroes and villains though...

 

i would not want to go back at all, because one of the main reasons people would return to that blissfully ignorant feeling of being a child is to change and do things differently over again in their lives. doing so is living with regrets and wanting to try again and do things differently, which i would NEVER do. you must live without regrets, take chances, and live with your mistakes, without the feeling of being a child again.

 

Several times in my life, I have wished that I could go back to when things were better. But back to my early childhood, where I had no troubles...? No, I never thought of it that way. I would always wish I could go to the moment before the problems started and stay there forever, not as far back as my early childhood. I suppose that I realized all along that you can never get back childhood innocence, and that's just the sad fact of life.

 

I wish, not to go back to my childhood, but to (and this will sound REALLY weird to some of you) stay in college forever, the way I'm living now. I have a sweet volunteer job in an Anthropology lab, I live on my own with no roommate, I have 4 classes a semester (not too many, not too few), my parents are paying for most of my education (for now), and I can get on the internet as long as I want, learning new things both online and in class, and having fun while I'm doing it. This, to me, is bliss.
