Growing Up

When is it ok to grow up?

I pose this question in the midst of a world that is trying to stay young with every breath that goes by. Age-defying serums and fountains of youth are welcomed in the beauty industry. Young teens try to be older by dressing in ways that are way beyond what any person should be doing, which only breeds more of an immaturity. It's not that I'm saying that everyone should shed their playfulness or spontineity, but rather that they should own a sense of responsibility.

I'm unimpressed with people who blame everyone else for the way that they are and have no interest at looking at the true problem. Part of growing up is being able to take that introspective look and say, man I really screwed that up and then find a way to reconcile the indiscretion.

Time to stop being a Toy's R Us kid.
