If this is what being grown-up is like, I'd rather not...

I'm not ready. I just can't do it.

I need silliness. Going out in a tangent that has absolutely no interest or purpose apart from making people laugh is what I need. Ranting about something for a long time, listing the absurd reasons why we don't agree with something, but putting yourself out there. Letting yourself go, and then laughing about how ridiculous you sound.

We are all ridiculous, there's no point in trying to be serious, everything is absurd. Don't take life so seriously. Enjoy it, don't plan it. Just plan to enjoy it, that's OK.

If making everything sound really serious and finding ways of convincing people that you are certain of something, that you have a certain subject all figured out, when you really don't, is what being a grown-up is all about, I'd rather not.

Give me 3 hours playing with a child, over 3 hours of a "serious" grown-up conversation anytime!

I miss our friends...

being a grown-up is about being the sum of what you have been until you feel like a grown -up , including being, or behaving, like a carefree child.
It´s about letting your imagination take you away from the rut of your obligations and responsabilities while you dutifully, and even happily,take them on
If you are lucky, you'll feel comfortable when people let you know that although you have your well-thought views, you're not absolutely sure of anything.

Ps.I love babies, but give me grown ups any time
