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."
