Someone clearly never told them that they're not 10 years old anymore. Growing up / moving / progressing / changing is important. But a fear of being childish is not the same thing-- indeed it's something more that was a feature of my childhood than my adulthood. When important stuff is going down, I'll buckle up.

I will-- reluctantly-- confront the ephemerality of so many things in life. And I will still come back and play with toys and enjoy video games.
