I don't want to grow up.

I don't want to become an adult.

There's so many things out there.

Adults feel like empty shells.

They have a warped sense of maturity.

They believe that we must play along with society.

They believe in more things negative than positive.

"You can't ... if you don't ..."

"You will never ... if you ..."

"You know that this is impossible ... because ..."

Sometimes, maybe it's because they've fought too much with society

Maybe they just decided that enough was enough for them

Maybe they were all once like me

Maybe they all just.. gave up.

It's scary.

Will I become someone like that in the future?

Someone who has totally given up on her dreams, ambitions

Someone who just wants to conform

Someone who doesn't want to take a stand anymore

Someone who just wants to avoid all pain.

Avoid all pain.

Are all adults like that?

Do they all just run away?

No reason needed, no explanation needed.

Break and go.

I don't know.

..

..

..

..

I don't want to become an adult.

An adult, they only think realistic.

But why?

They probably experienced too much already.

Too much.

I don't want to grow up.

If growing up is going to give me this warped sense of maturity

If growing up is going make me someone I don't want to become

Then I'd rather believe and live in my youth

Naive,

Ambitious.

I want to be who I want to be...



...

I wonder if they ever got a chance to be who they want to be.

Maybe that's why they cut off all ties with people who seem to go in their way.

A realistic way of thinking,

A thinking that obstacles must all be eliminated in order to reach their goal.

I wonder if...

Until now...

Adults are still fighting for the freedom they wanted.

Their youth

Their ambition.

Maybe it's all still there,

Deep inside of them.

They don't know it.

We don't know it.

But they're still striving hard for them...

...

and they would take whatever measure to get to that peak of happiness that they had always wished for.
