Growing up

So there’s this guy that I used to chat with a while back. He lives in the United States. I couldn’t relate to him since he basically didn’t want to grow up. His entire life revolved around watching children’s entertainment, day in and day out. Never watched any adult shows like a sitcom, a soap opera or even the news. He once said to me how watching kid’s shows have corrupted his life in many ways and has made him want to be a kid forever. No, I don’t think watching children’s entertainment makes him want to be a kid forever. He knows it’s not for his age, but he’s in denial. It seems to me more like he has Peter Pan syndrome. And if that is the case, it’s something he’s going to have to eventually move on from because life only gets tougher as you get older. It’s all a part of growing up.

The only thing that forced me to sort of be an adult was the death of my parents. Sort of because I had to take care of organizing their property and funds. Mostly not because they set things up in advance so that I have a comfortable -not rich- income for the rest of my life.
I could live like your ex and just watch kids shows and buy/play with toys, but now I am going to help actual children who are born with cleft palates get the treatment and surgery they need to live and not be picked on by other kids.
