Grow Up!

People say that it is possible to actually grow up.  I am not sure I ever met anyone who has really done it.  What does it really mean to grow up anyway?  Does it mean to...

·         Stop acting like a kid?

·         Become responsible?

·         Stop having fun?  …or have a different kind of fun?

·         Take on Debt?  …or be out of debt?

·         Act mature? (What is mature?)

·         Get a real job?  (What is a real job?)

Growing up is subjective.  It means different things to different people.  I believe that growing up is the sequence of life's events that make us who we are.  The nature of those events may cause some feel to feel grown up and others not.  Those events may cause some people to never feel, or act, really grow up.  For that matter, maybe none of us ever actually grow up.  That may not be all bad.  Life is a journey and not a destination.  If we were to all be grown up what would we have to look forward to?
