Living As Peter Pan

I've been missing for a while, did anyone notice? I didn't think so, its okay I didn't expect anyone to send out a search party. I'm making it sound that during my absence I've been lost, that isn't the case at all, if anything I've found myself. I will probably have to explain myself (as usual). Take a step into my world, you must of missed my insights as much as I've missed sharing them.

When you turn 18 you are widely accepted as being an adult, which is fair enough in the respect of you have to make your own decisions at some point but are you 'grown up' at that age? My answer to that is a simple no, only the experiences and stages of realisation of who you are allow you to take that step.

I've referenced the theory of evolution before, the truth of the matter is the body and the soul mature at different speeds and need different ingredients to reach their full potential. Take 2 people of the same age, do you expect them to have the same outlook on life? The same aspirations? Each individual will find their own time to stick their toe into the water to check the temperature, some will need the reassurance that someone will hold their hand while they do it.

Personally I'm the master of disguise to some degree, I appear to have dipped my toes very early but that is only half the story, currently I'm dipping in my whole foot for the first time but I've taken the hand that someone has held out for me. It is much easier to be brave when you aren't doing it alone. The soul is like a sponge and it has to be exposed to new experiences and feelings to grow, soaking up all that happens giving a new dimension to life, seeing a larger picture than before.

None of us know our full potential, none of us truly believe that we can achieve as much as we do and that is where the presence of someone telling you it is alright to try allows us to push our boundaries back further than before. I suppose going back to the original point a lot of 'growing up' comes by chance and the foresight to recognise the chance that is to be taken.

When looking at another appreciate the fact each person needs to digest life, timing is an individuals choice and understanding that waiting in the wings to put out your hand is no bad thing, it is a cliché but all good things come to those who wait. It is also true that all good things are worth waiting for.

life is an individual experience that is shared with others, no-one is going to be the same as you all the time but by understanding this you make life that little bit more simple for yourself. Man has never stopped evolving, maybe we never fully grow up but we do have new experiences each day.


Take care my friends (I won't leave it so long next time).


Enjoy today, look forward to tomorrow.
