    I really relate to this comic. I didn’t like being a child that much, and I feel alienated a lot on the internet by people constantly wishing they could go back to having no responsibilities. I really, really like being able to control my own destiny and decide what I wanna do, even though it comes with increased pressures and responsibilities.

      Being an adult is awesome. I get to have a motorcycle, my own cat, I can build whatever I want, I can have chickens if I want, and I have a really cute wife. What could I do as a kid? Go to school? Live with my parents? Hang out with people who had the minds of children? Boooring.

      It’s when you probably have your life in order and are comfortable with who you are. It’s a good time when you are most you.

      Though for those who haven’t got either of those, it’s probably not going to be a good time. I feel for those people, I know a few.

      I’m happy with myself in my 30’s it’s always nice to think of telling my younger self of the stuff I’ve done. British business the younger would be very surprised and absolutely jazzed about it.

        True. Like imagine all those people who are “looking for someone to complete them” When said person has been staring at them in the mirror each.

        My younger self would be happy and impressed with what I have achieved “You can draw ???” (Altho maybe not so much wkth still being certainly “not the life of the party” but that was to be expected :P )
