Are you like Peter Pan?

Do what makes you happy not what you think will make other people happy!

You hear a lot of kids say, “I want to grow up so I can do whatever I want,” but really when you grow up you have more responsibility than ever. Children don’t realize that sometimes. Their view of adults is that they eat anything they want and buy lots of stuff, but what they don’t realize is you have to work for what you buy. At a certain age, children realize they don’t want to become adults because they have responsibilities. Peter Pan doesn’t want to grow up because he sees adult responsibilities as a bad thing when they’re not always bad. It is true that having responsibilities can sometimes bring you pleasure and allow you to experience life better. When you get to be an adult, you may be older, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be happy. Just be you. If you still want to act childish sometimes you can, because making yourself happy is important, and if that means not acting like an adult all the time, that’s okay. Being responsible for your actions is very important but, when you are off duty, act however you feel will make you happy.
