Peter, You Were Right..

I think Pan had it right. Growing old is a big fat illusion, and one of life's biggest, cruelest jokes. Adulthood is a trap, and I'm set on a one way path straight towards it. As a kid, there was nothing I wanted more than to grow up. I wanted the new opportunities that came with higher age. I always wanted to be older, because the big kids always got to have the most fun... But being older isn't all it's cracked up to be. I'm being thrown head-first into the raging white waters of life, and I can't even tell which way is up anymore. I'm drowning in responsibilities and requirements and expectations...

I look ahead at the terrifying river of life and can't help but think... Pan had it right..
