I was listening to some Gunship when this gem came on. First, I was wracking my brain to remember what the quote was from. The Breakfast Club, if you don't know. Some 80's nostalgia for you.
But I started thinking about it. When you grow up, your heart dies... Is that why I don't feel like I've truly grown up? At no point in my life have I ever really felt 'grown up'. I see everyone around me, getting older, getting careers, starting families... But I stayed more or less the same. I watch as an of these people I knew walk around like fucking zombies. They grew up with cold, dead hearts and successful lives. But I'm still so much like a giant child. Granted, a much more articulate child, but still. Despite all of my best efforts, my heart never did die. I still care far too much for my own good.
Maybe there's something to that line after all.
And if you need proof... What is a writer, if not a child playing make believe? A child creating their own worlds, populated with so many imaginary friends.
On that note, if you haven't checked out The Ones Left Behind yet... I mean, why the hell not? It's a pretty good book. While we're at it, any of you with a strong social media presence feel like shouting out your old buddy Daniel? I could really use the exposure. Just saying.
