"What is the use of planning to be able to eat next week unless I can really enjoy the meals when they come? If I am so busy planning how to eat next week that I cannot fully enjoy what I am eating now, I will be in the same predicament when next week's meals become "now"."
-Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity
Part of becoming an "adult" means that you realize that, while you do have stuff to be "responsible" about (basically meaning you're taking care of yourself instead of having mommy and daddy do it), you can still have fun and a lot more of it besides, because you aren't limited to the kind of fun you can have. As an "adult" you can travel the world, learn anything and everything you ever wanted to, meet people, go to strange and exotic locations, and do and be everything you ever wanted to be and more. Just because someone says you "have" to do something doesn't mean you must!
