Instead of facing these questions and concerns head on, adults choose to focus on the cyclical daily grind and pursuit of paychecks.

There is no cure for the disillusionment that comes with realizing the grim circumstances in which today’s youth are being raised.

Baje’s childhood was defined by self-sufficiency and ingenuity.

Kids today are growing up in an America far less safe, secure and stable than the America of Baje’s youth. Today’s youth are faced with questions about war with enemies whose identities are not entirely clear and whose whereabouts are not concrete. The ‘villain’ in question may refer to Osama Bin Laden who had not been captured yet.

Baje can’t imagine growing up as a kid in the world or the city as it is today.

He metaphorically takes a drink from the fountain of youth and slips back into his childhood.

On the other hand, when looking out through the walls of his restrictive home, he has a wider view of the world.

The comfort of his youth feels like home, but upon further inspection, children’s freedoms are restricted like a goldfish in a bowl.

Baje is revisiting the pinnacle of his childhood and would gladly trade his soul to relive it.

A lot of people would like to trade their souls to go back in time and re-live their youth, using their adult wisdom to their advantage.
