The Prime.

Golden Age: If you had to live forever as either a child, an adolescent, or an adult, which would you choose — and why?

---

A little timid, but very active.
A little shy, but quite crazy.
A lot of happiness, and no stress.
A little nudge and I woke up fresh.
That is how the child in me lived.

A little confident, but a little tired.
A little outgoing, but quite busy.
A lot more stress, and no rest.
A little daunting and it felt like a test.
That is how the teenager in me lived.

A little open minded, but a little unsure.
A little stubborn, but quite easy going.
A lot more learning, and no break.
A little tough and it feels like I am always awake.
That is how the young adult is…

And I would say this is the best stage of life. You have the knowledge, the health, the strength, the will power, the passion/fire, the time, may be even money and support/love of your family and friends that would keep you going on. One or the other tends to missing in the stages preceding and succeeding the young adults age. No wonder it is called the prime!
