Why is that when we're young we wanna grow up so quickly? And when we get older, we don't want to stay young?

Like when i was 5 or something, i used to tell me my mum. ' I want to be an adult! Cause adult means no need to study then everyday can wear home clothes. '
And my mum would go like, ' HAHAHAHA! You want go to work for what! Study better. '

And, when I got older, maybe like around 14-16 (?) I told someone (i forgot who) that i don't want to grow up. I mean like, why would you wanna grow up Being an adult means you have to make your own decisions, deal with ridiculous people like backstabbers all. Look out for yourself and deal with matters of the heart which, imo is completely overrated.

I still think what my mum says is true. Mum : Your ex-boyfriend can never be your friend one la! Ex means got problem ready right! You think become friends then no more problem ah?

People come, people go. HAHA!

OH! I think I know why I am slightly more nice than the general Singaporean.
I remember that when i was young, my auntie asked me, ' So how? What do you wanna be when you grow up? '

Me : A good person.

And the best part, I tried to be one till....idk when. Till it was too late for me to change i guess. LOL.
