adult

Once we were young, now we are adult.

To abandon the child __ithin_ means that the adult __ithout_ will be an adult in name only. And frankly, I can only name a handful of things that are that tragic.

adulthood is depressing. for me at least. i cried at the death of every illusion harder than i cried at the death of friends.

As an adult I had mastered the art of looking without seeing and listening without hearing and eating without tasting and maybe even existing without living.

Few endeavors, if any at all, I find to be inherently mature or inherently immature. Maturity is neither defined by one's particular preferences nor by one's particular activities; rather, it is defined by the strength of one's character.

Running her fingers on the scales, she sighs. __ wonder what its like to be a human?___hy won__ you just go and find out?_ the question startled her. She whirled around to come face to face with her evil aunt; Ursula.

How charming. The king and his little princess knocking on my covens door._ Ursula sighed dramatically. __hat do you insolent merfolks want with me now? I swear I haven__ eaten any of your children._-Ursula

Father, what are you to do now?__riton__ sneer grew scarier. __he broke the law._ turning away from the terrified faces of his daughters. __he must die.

She probably fell asleep and was washed away by the tortoise waves!_-Arista

I do love you. I love you enough to accept who you are. Why can__ I received the same feeling in return?_-Ariel

Wouldn't the world be a much better place if we didn't make it past the age of maybe 10? Think back to when we were younger, before we were so easily influenced by adults. We rebelled against everything that we now believe is impossible. Super Heroes still existed and we didn't hold grudges because "sorry" was okay and as long as you still wanted to share your toys with me, nothing more needed to be said. Be 10 years old today everyone.

Netiquette is overdelicate because kids use the internet. Adult content forms are triplicate, ASL. NetworkEtiquette.net

Children can create fun out of nothing and when this great talent is lost you become a boring creature which is called adult!

The fantasy of life;When I was a child, I said __ can__ wait to grow up_.When I was adult, I said __ miss childhood adventures_.

Nature gives children great emotional resilience to help them survive the oppressions of being small, but these oppressions still make them into slightly insane adults, either mad to seize all the power they once lacked or (more usually) mad to avoid it.

The clash is born of the fact that the child within me sees with undiluted clarity what the adult within me is incessantly working to deny. And in these most vexing moments, to be the adult is to defer to the child.

If as an adult I have scolded and then silenced the child within me, I contend that I am neither an adult nor a child. Rather, I am just plain ignorant.

I realize that some people will not believe that a child of little more than ten years is capable of having such feelings. My story is not intended for them. I am telling it to those who have a better knowledge of man. The adult who has learned to translate a part of his feelings into thoughts notices the absence of these thoughts in a child, and therefore comes to believe that the child lacks these experiences, too. Yet rarely in my life have I felt and suffered as deeply as at that time.
