Would you go back in time to be a child again?



Every 14th November, India celebrates Children's Day. This year, I stumbled a post on social media :


I’m sure that a lot of you must have read it somewhere, it’s a popular post.And many people agree to this statement. 
I thought about this and I realised that so many adults desire to relive their childhood days. Yes, adulting is hard and yes, when you’re a child you’ve got no bills to pay.


As much as I cherish my time as a child, I would not trade my years of experience and growth and go back to being five.And for sure, I wouldn’t go through high school all over again.It is true that a  child symbolises innocence, growth, curiosity and love. But aren't these qualities attainable even as an adult? Is it not possible to remain thirsty for knowledge and continue learning. In fact our experience can help us gain wisdom.James Arther Baldwin perfectly said,’ Experience, which destroys innocence also leads one back to it.’

So, let me know what you think of this. Would you go back to being a child?

Gen z ? IGen ?

Metanoia

Just another day of summer vacation,plain,no plans with friends and simply boring.I was lying on my bed, mindlessly scrolling through my phone, switching between instagram and youtube, when I came across an app that I had stopped using, pinterest.Although Pinterest is great,but, for me, it represented a failed attempt to start a blog.Boredom got the better of me, and I decided to take a look at Pinterest. On my feed, I came across the word - metanoia. Metanoia in Greek is literally ‘change of mind’ often translated as “repentance". But this kind of repentance is not about regret or guilt or shame; it implies making a decision to turn around, to face a new direction. Something, I really badly needed at that time. Life was no fun, I had no idea what I was doing.And maybe, because of this,I had trouble sleeping, I was constantly anxious about my future.I wanted a goal to pursue but didn’t attempt to find goals.Something had to change, life shouldn’t feel like this. A lot has ...
