The crappiest thing about adulthood is that you are an adult. You are surrounded by adults, expected to act like an adult, and must accept all responsibilities the world pushes towards adults. Now don't get me wrong, one must grow up and move on. Peter Pan is a sad reality. In order to truely experience life, one must get out there and accept what life deals you, take responsibility for it, and keep on keepin' on. It's just that some days it seems like too much. Some days you'd rather run to a comfort zone (as if you were still a child) and let someone or something, in your behalf, fight off the troubles of the day. I guess that's why some find the comfort zone in a bottle, another sad reality of adulthood, a loss of innocence. And that loss of innocence is really the whole thing, that is the "adult" perspective. It's not wrong, just harsh. It's realistic... but some days reality is best left aside, just for a short time. That time off helps you to regroup, refocus, become an adult again, take on those responsibilities, and move on. You must never let that last bit of child in you die off. Cast the demons aside. Smile, look for the funny things in your life. Don't let the clouds make your life a perpetual rainy day. They're just clouds, they'll blow away. I promise. Take care. Later, Butch
