I would never trade the freedom I have now to be back in school as a kid who is beholden to the wills of adults around me.
Exactly. As much as I'm bored and unhappy at work, it pales in comparison to the prison that school was for me. And living at home with parents. Miserable.
Yeah. Now I dont have homework AND I get to spend money on stuff I want
I had way more freedom as a child because I had less responsibilities.
I work longer hours than I spent at school. I don’t get to goof around and have fun with friends during that time. I come home exhausted and have to do more work to maintain my existence. And I have to constantly worry about money. I don’t get to stay up to 2am playing StarCraft or Diablo every night, and if I even think about it my body will hate me.
Shit was easy and fun. The only benefit of adulthood is I allegedly have more money for stuff, but I can’t buy it because I need to be responsible.
I would, but not because school was better—i was picked on regularly—but because i want to make better choices.
You and me both.
The thing about these comparisons is they are usually one-way, disregarding some of the more important aspects within the current situations.
