And you can't see any way to do both being happy today, and tomorrow?

yes, living the way I am, instead of jsut for tomorrow

like I said this whole thing started with Grown-up

Sounds like the end of a journey

I would prefer to continue to grow till they day I die, instead of choosing some time to say I am now grown-up

would you prefer I live for others, and strive to meet there expectations, and limit myself to what they want and expect? What am I missing? Family? some people are not meant to have family.

not having children does not mean alone and unloved.

I have nephews, and many neices and nephews by proxy. I have friends that love me, and I them, many of them have children that look upon me as family.

I am not scared of being alone and unloved, I would have to try to be that for it to happen

Read back, Paul. The only person who used the term "grown-up" is you. Everyone else used the terms "growing up" or "grow up". There was no mention of an end to that process. Ever. Mostly because most of us know there can't be an end to that process.

Don't be blinded by your own misperceptions.

There's 2 says that I've found true.
"With great power comes Great responsibility"
and
"With great wisdom comes great sorrow"

Must be why I'm depressed all the time. :p

you can only comprimise your dreams so much

And therein lies my own definition of maturity, as opposed to age.

A mature person, of any age, knows the difference between a dream and a goal.

An old dreamer is called a homeless artist too often.

I'm all about personal freedom, happiness, dreams, attaining goals...all that stuff is just hunky-dory with me. But responsibility is there whether one accepts it or not.

My personal dream was to own an old farmhouse with acreage in the mountains of Upper East Tennessee. It cost me a marriage, over $10k a year in salary, job satisfaction, and more personal stress than I ever imagined. But I got my house. Some have asked me if it was worth everything I went through to get it.

Yes. No hesitation. And I'd do it again tomorrow.

Live for today in as many aspects of your life as you can. When that philosophy starts getting in your way (and it will), it's time to reassess. Heck, I once thought I wanted to spend my life being a roadie for KISS. I reassessed.

Oh, no my friend. That's just when the second stage thrusters kick in.


Sol, try not to be a complete asshole until you've managed more than one post, eh.
