They, (the older generation) sees the care free nature of someone so young and naive about life (the speaker) and tells him that he is living life like it's a dream, that he has yet to really experience or understand it or what hardship it entails. They warn him that if he does not open his eyes and start taking life seriously and stop living being guided by heart (his feelings and emotions), time and life are all just going to pass by him in the blink of an eye, and everything will be wasted.

His only guide through the pitch black darkness is his beating heart (his value of resilience and his desire)

The speaker, like everyone else, tries to take account for all his worries and fears and constantly frets over every single one of them. However he discovers that he is can only carry so much worries and fears before breaking, after all he only has two hands. He thus sees no reason to continue on worrying and stops it.

Sometimes, you learn the most and find out who you really are when you don’t even know that you are looking.

The uncertain tone tells me that he is worried, for his future as he does not know where he will end up and how his ‘journey’ will go. The future is unpredictable.

He sees life as a game, something to be explored to its limits, something fun to be played, something that can be enjoyed.

He isn’t scared of closing his eyes and drifting to sleep, getting ‘caught up in a dream’.

He wishes to stay young, energetic and naive. He also wishes to stay free forever

He does have wishes to do some things, but, for the moment he is living the life and does not have any plans.

Although his elders are telling him that what he is going thorough now is a dream, he does not care. He is living through his dream and is loving it. Thus he asks to be woken up in the future, when he is older, more mature and is ready to face life in all it’s glory and hardships

Visual imagery tells me that in the pitch black darkness, the speaker is hopelessly lost, unable to see ahead. He can only grope around the walls and edges and stumble his way through.

However, he turns a deaf ear towards the advice and warnings of his elders. He, as of now, enjoys the life that he is living and that if whatever his elders have warned him about comes to pass, he is fine by it

They’ refers to the the older generation, the ones who have been through some of the experiences that life has to offer and are well into their ‘journey’.

‘They’ refers to the the older generation, the ones who are more experienced in life.

He is uncertain, of what the future might fortell

His only guide through the darkness is his beating heart (his value of resilience and his desire)

The author is trying to say to that he wants to break free from the darkness (the world) that he is in now.

Eventually, all of the types of things lost shift to “you” a person. n living being- with sentience, with his or her own unique type of characteristic and preference, among many other things

Now, the subject of loss is being looked on a grander scale, which are the houses that the speaker lived in. And from the word “Loved” I can tell that these weren’t just places she lived in, she had treasured it, as it held all the memories of the good times she spent there

There’s a shift in emotion in the speaker. From the usual impassive tone of the speaker to a more emotional one

Now, the things lost are even more personal to the speaker as opposed to the examples before it.

The types of things being lost slowly shift from small and mundane things to things the speaker has a semblance of attachment to, like names, which can be personal to her, for example

She gives us two examples of loss. Door keys and time.

The speaker feels the pain of losing many times. So much that she gradually feels little to no pain at all when something is lost. There is only a dull acceptance

Refers to the art of feeling pain upon losing something
