Why do people tell others to "grow up?" To me, it's nothing but bad advice.
I can say pretty confidently that all of you have either been children, or still are. Sometimes, I think people forget how great it was to be a child as they grow older. As a young child, every day is an adventure, there are new places and activities to explore, new ways to test your limits, and new things to think, do, and imagine. Children don't spend their time worrying about how mature they appear, or where they're going to be in ten years, or the finer points of business etiquette, they spend their time laughing, playing, exploring, and enjoying life.
It seems to me like maturity is a contrived virtue. A virtue invented by rigid, sterile "grown-ups" who forgot how to enjoy their time on this planet years ago. They spend their time in grave concern over their responsibilities, passing meaningless judgments on those who live their lives free and unfettered by the stagnant shackles of maturity and propriety.
Many of us, myself included, are at a point in our lives where there is increasing social pressure to conform with this culture of "grown-up-ness," and if you find yourself in that position now or in the future, I hope you will give some consideration to my words. There are times where you will need to pretend to be "grown up" in order to be successful, but there are no times when you will need to be "grown up." It will take a little extra effort, and perhaps be slightly dishonest, but I believe it is a small sacrifice for the ability to retain the virtue of immaturity. It would be a waste of your life to heed the words of those who would tell you to "grow up."
I advise you: do not grow up. Instead, enjoy life fully. |
I agree 10000000000%!
I moved out when I was 17, and I had to grow up very quickly. But I realized that being silly and laughing and just playing around is the best thing any one can do. I will never stop wanting to play in the snow, or jumping out from behind something, and scaring the crap out of people.
Enjoy life, and take the fricken pickle out of your asses! Life is short, take the time to smile and appreciate the small things that are offered! |

Yea, that's right...
I will be the eighty year old granny waiting for her grandkids behind the door. I'll jump out and scare the bejeezus out of them, and then cackle myself so hard, that I will wet my depends.
Yup, that'll be me! |

I don't know what's scarier - the idea of an old lady messing herself because of excessive laughing or the idea that Theresa will one day have children, and subsequently, grandchildren. :nervous:

We all know my kids will grow up to be nice little dysfunctional brats, like all the rest of them.
