"When we were children, did we ever wish to be adults? And if so, what age did we want to be and why?"

I find it really interesting to talk about this topic because I know that many of us can relate to it since childhood. Generally, we think about growing up very quickly, but the truth is that when that moment arrives and we become adults, responsible for our own lives, constantly facing challenges and responsibilities, we realize that life was much easier during our childhood. Maybe not for everyone, but in my case, it was something beautiful.

When we are children, we don’t have to worry about anything; everything comes easily. We are cared for and overprotected. But when adolescence arrives, we become a bit rebellious. That’s when we start saying, “I want to be of legal age.” I’ve always liked rock, and I can’t remember how many times I argued with my mom because she wouldn’t let me go to concerts when I was just 15 years old. I always said I wanted to be of legal age so I wouldn’t have to ask for permission and could leave the house. And now that I’m not with my mom, I wish I could have her with me every day of my life, but it’s not the same as seeing her for a little while compared to having her 24/7. As adults, we each have our own space and life. She’s an incredible woman.

Now that I have a child, in moments when he wants to worry or complain about trivial things, I think he has no idea about the stage he’s living through right now, when everything is easy.

In the world of psychology, there is something called the life cycle, and these are the stages in human development that are the processes we go through in this wonderful thing called life, from birth to death, which of course includes childhood, adulthood, and old age. Life is a cycle, and it’s necessary to go through each of these processes and experience them fully—that’s why it’s called the life cycle.

We must know how to make the most of each of these stages and learn from both the bad and the good because every lesson teaches us something. And not everything that glitters is gold. We also need to be communicative and empathetic, learn to be grateful, and leave our mark without hurting anyone. The attitude is to add, not subtract.
