All Grown Up

"We're 24, Elaine. We're not kids anymore."

Why do some people try so hard to grow up before they're ready? Some people want to grow up so fast, that it's almost as if they're trying to leave something behind. At 24, we're not young, but we're not old. We're more young than we are old. But why would anyone try to grow up before their time?

Why tell me that I need to grow up when I already understand what grown-ups don't? Why grow up when I still have so much more to absorb at this moment?

As you fly past your moments, what will you have left at the end? Moments you vaguely remember, but not enough to look back on. Nothing to look back, so you keep flying, and the same thing happens over and over again. The cycle of emptiness.
