Oh To Be A Child Again

Why is it so hard to say what I would like to say at the time I want to say it?
Is it that my brain is so painfully slow at processing the information, so that hours or even days after the event, I am left obsessing about all the things I could or should have said at the time?
Or is it just fear that if I speak my mind without first considering the consequences, then I may live to regret it? But will I not regret it equally if I do NOT speak my mind?
Oh to be a child once more, where to say exactly what we think and feel is admired, praised and even encouraged!
How sad that as we grow older we hide so much of what we think and feel for fear of criticism or ridicule! Oh to be a child.
