As I approach my 30s, one of my main targets is to “never grow up.” I shall honor my physical maturation but ensure my spirit remains settled in virginal form. This objective does not mean that I’ll be aspiring to live a juvenile life as I saunter through adulthood. Rather, it’s an aim that will encourage me to avoid any incoming matter that has the potential to smear my purified belief system. From my perspective, those who set their heart on “acting like an adult” are, without even realizing it, operating from a place that is far from their high-powered ticker. Those who comprehend the charm of life know that the best moments burgeon in the absence of thought and not amid a calculated rumination. So the more one can live without thinking—a practice that adults often abuse—the more they can experience life’s greatest gifts.
