I've always found, "adult"
in its practical application
to be a limiting word.

Much in the same way
I find the word, "child" to be.
They both attempt to condense
the infinite and spiritual nature
of the human condition.

To balance a child's wonder
and retain the wisdom
of your years.

It's not about taking out a mortgage
or burying yourself under work.

We are in the world,
but we are not of it.

It's hard to throw out labels
and expectations
and just be,
"human."
