Face it; no one ever wants to grow up. If we all had it our way, we would be playing outside or watching movies instead of working at a desk or cubical. Sometimes you wonder if Peter Pan can fly you to Neverland where no one ever grows up. But, do we ever grow up? Our bodies may change, and we may look different than we once were, but do we ever lose the kid inside of us? My answer is no.

As we grow up, we learn and use that knowledge to lead us to knew and different places. But, as we become adults, there is still so much to learn. It’s like when your parents would tell you what to do, half the time they didn’t know what they were talking about, but you still listened to them. Everyone thinks that the older you are, the more you know, and that can be wrong. A lot of us still need to learn.

When we grow up, we make mistakes, that doesn’t mean that adults can never make mistakes. Of course, adults make mistakes; no one is perfect. Growing up shouldn’t be a bad thing because we are all still kids learning about the world and how to live in it. There comes a time in our life where we do need to take responsibility for our actions and work to become better, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be a kid here and there.
Think about holidays, parties, going out to movies; all these events are us being kids. Doesn’t matter about the wrinkles that will appear on our face, it matters about the person inside of us that tells us to live a little and have some fun. Growing up is just age, I see people in their 80s who dance like they are still in their teens.
It’s all about change, it sucks, but we can’t stop it from happening. Change can be useful because it leads us to bigger and better things. It can also get us to touch on our younger selves. You can reflect on the good times and know that it is only good ahead.

Peter Pan may say “Once you’re grown up you can’t come back” but he is wrong. You can always go back to being a kid. It may not be for very long but that small amount of time will make our child side shine bright like a shooting star. So, go out and be a kid. Eat a bowl of sugary cereal, mix popcorn with candy and watch a Disney movie, go to an amusement park, play a sport, do something because the child in you is begging to come out.
