Many adults have thought, "If only I was a kid again," as if childhood was easier than being an adult. But there's nothing easy about childhood, it's tough! Thoughts like those are just the adult mind feeling overwhelmed about being a grownup.

Childhood was hard and so is being a grownup. Life is one long process, with both childhood and adulthood having its own set of challenges. There is a difference between acting mature because you're an adult and actually being mature. Learning to understand and overcome what holds you back from having the power to be a real grownup is what brings out maturity.
