I loved this piece and will save as a reminder of harsh truth that I don't want to face many times.
"The one thing every child wants is to become an adult. You and I have wanted it too. And then when we did become adults, strangely enough, we behaved like children. We regressed to living like our decisions were not really ours, like there were others pulling the strings for us. We acted helpless; we turned to others; we blamed them if things didn’t turn out well; we didn’t take responsibility for choices that we claimed were not ours—we became the very definition of children. Not the part filled with innocence; the other part that is helpless."
Thanks for putting it out Rout. It means a lot!
