To remain a child forever?

[Borderlands of Rojava]

There's something bitter sweet about this idea. You know before I was 10 my life was better. I wasn't living in fear like I do today, I was a purer soul and I was content with my life. My family felt more stable and I had alot of hope for the future.

This is part of the reason I'm uncomfortable around kids tbh. I'm no longer a pure and innocent being like they are and the dissonance between them and I makes me feel odd. Yeah I know I didn't actually say whether I would wish to be a kid again but I just felt like saying all this. Honestly IM this is one of the sweetest and most touching hypotheticals you've ever come up with, and it really has affected me.

how many more of these posts are you going to make?

This is my first hypothetical like this.

Yeah. As a kid, you didn't realized how extremely messed up the world is.

Maybe it's just me, but I had a lot less faith in the world as a kid. I learned to like it more with age. It's part of the reason that I would rather not go back and repeat it again.

Maybe Remain 21 forever would be a better deal

You get to remain 21 but your forced to shop at forever 21.

Please no...

21 is the male peak (might be different age for women), so you can be sure to have the best metabolism you're going to get, the most muscle gain if you're an athlete or bodybuilder, the most libido, the best reflexes. Everything is just great at 21 or a bit younger. Probably the best point biologically to spend an eternity at.

Great question, I would take Azur, if i'm remembering correctly that it is to not remain as a child. I believe the feelings from childhood can be attained again, by the power of concrentration (translation: opening third eye). These feelings of course take on a different world through the lense of adulthood but I believe they are always within us

But I don't want to be perfect. I just want to have faith in the world, in my bubble again.

I miss how I was. I was such a peaceful little boy. You know I didn't like when people stepped on pine cones cause I viewed them as living beings (they kinda are, or at least are part of living beings). I could have been a Jain lmfao.

I think the change started when I was 10. I remember going from crying about insults to roasting people back to straight up fighting them. And slowly but surely, as I got older the fights became progressively more violent and bloody. But when I was a kid, there was none of that. As a small child I truly did see the world as a better place.

I mean I'm 21 and my life is pretty shit, so idk about that.

You remain 27 but your username for every single one of your accounts on all devices and websites is TheLegend27

You don't have to be a child to have faith in the world. I learned it when I became older, too.

12 years old forever.

I remember when I was a child, watching Sailor Moon. She was a role model: strong, independent, cute, powerful, and magical. Yes, I thought magic was real too, and I thought the only problem in the world were these crimes, which Sailor Moon and her friends would be able to solve with their powers. I didn't know she didn't really exist until an embarrassingly late time, and sometimes I wish I could go back to believing in her.

I'd prefer to be the stupid young me who still believed in magic, ignorant of climate change, economic imperialism, starvation and inequalities in this world.

I wish it would be the case for me too. But I've grown to become those I laughed at as a child: the slightly cynical person who realises that none of their actions can impact anything. It's like trying to bake a cake, but everytime you finish the batter someone pours it out, and you start all over again, and eventually you just become hopeless.

But what I've found is that your actions do matter. You just need to give up the metaphorical cake and spend more time with the person who is pouring out the metaphorical batter.

It's a hard world. We can decide what we are in light of that fact, however.

The person pouring out the batter may not want to do it, but they're being ordered by a voice, and the voice hardly cares about either of us. Even if I try to talk to the person who's not letting me bake the cake, even if the person pouring out the batter stops doing it, they'll just be replaced.

But that just doesn't matter if you give up trying to bake a cake. It wouldn't affect you anymore, and you would have a new friend from it.

I would take the metaphorical batter and pour it down the throat of the metaphorical person. Then I'd take the metaphorical pan and hit him in the metaphorical forehead.

But the cake is everything to me. A patisserie that doesn't make cakes is like a fruit farm without strawberries.

Then you can just do something else. There's always something else.

Azur, I don't want to repeat the worst time of my life
