In the context of Raz's post, it may be that he feels impatient or anxious about his current state of overall development...Raz, do you desire to be an "Adult" already? If so, why are you not embracing your "childhood"?

For some, such a relative framing can be helpful if it encourages an appreciation of the past, and an acceptance of the present stage of development...with the cherry on top being an eagerness to discover the next stage.
For me it isn't embracing my childhood any more but rather embracing my adulthood. I had legitimate excuses in childhood not in adulthood. I have accessed and understood to much from my unconscious for this to be possible any more, no matter how much the child resists change it has to grow because I'am a positive being and that is the only way I can live.
My consciousness is a child and my unconsciousness is the adult, I need to turn that around so my consciousness is an adult and my unconsciousness is a child.
