As we grow older and wiser, our perspectives shift, and the activities we once adored as children can take on a different hue. It’s a universal experience, this transformation from youthful enthusiasm to a more tempered appreciation. This change was the focus of a recent online discussion, where adults looked back on their childhood passions.

We spend our childhood wishing we were older; once we age, we spend a lifetime trying to feel young again. Barring more adages of old yonder, growing up sucks, and nobody should want it.

Nobody can forget the summer holidays as a kid: waking up late, with giant blue skies and long, slow days you had to fill with whatever you wanted. “When you’re a kid, it’s three months of freedom from school,” comments an observer.
