Adult-kids
March 22, 2008
Adult-kids are people who are adults, but act like kids.
• In some ways, it can be charming: not scared of ridicule, not scared of being themselves, wanting more responsibilities, saying exactly what’s on your mind, seeing in black and white, wanting to fit in moms heels…
• In other ways, it can be annoying: scared of ridicule, scared of being themselves, freaking out about responsibilities, saying the beautified version of what’s on your mind, seeing in shades of gray, wanting to wear tiny shoes…
Because kids today are also kid-adults.
The thing is, if you try constantly to be what you are not, your life becomes a fake one.
If you’re 20, be 20 most of the time.
If you’re 35, be 35 most of the time.
If you’re 50, be 50 most of the time.
And if you don’t want to be what you are, then say your mental age when you get asked: “How old are you?”
Or else you could end up hurting the people around you who thought they could count on you because you’re supposed to be 27. Not 12.
