1. He's saying how he wishes he was a young child because children don't care how people look at them they be their complete selves and enjoy life.

2. i completely agree with what he's saying because as you get older you start to worry about how people look at you and peoples opinions actually matter. I too wish I had that young mindset where i could be my complete self and not worry a

My reaction is that there is no reason to waste your life by rushing or putting things before you and your life or overlooking what you should do for yourself. For example i live by that as well that wasting your time on irrelevant stuff is stupid and that shouldn't be a way anyone lives their life

1. If you follow your dreams and live how you picture your life you will find success and happiness.
2. I agree. Too many times people don't follow their dreams and live a miserable life and for what? Why shouldn't they follow their dreams if it's what makes them happy?

1. He wants to explore nature and to discover that he has not lived.
2. I agree because nature is beautiful and you could discover so much from it.
