What?! Again? How old can he be?

I know… you know, we aaaaall know my love for childish stuff. When Mickey or Bugs Bunny isn’t in the picture, my pal Teddy comes along. And trying to act as cool as him isn’t easy at all Any time I find clothes with kitty paws prints or a cartoon icon on it, I just can’t help it, I HAVE TO BUY IT. Some people think it’s cute, others find it juvenile. These haters are the kind of people that feel the absolute need to talk about politics at parties (luv u, ur the best). But coming to the point where I’m the only one wearing such clothes during those soirées, it suddenly dawned on me: is it this hard for me to grow up? It is known that we all hold onto something that reminds us of our innocent-self, but is my closet full of them too much? Should I get rid of my lovely clothes and finally get involved in political debates, dumping Mickey Magazine for Times Magashit? Hell no just kidding you fell for it idiot

But back to the reminescence. Lately, I shared a picture of 10 year old-me and complained about how nice it was back then. That was before I found on Instagram a corny quote stating “Don’t grow up it’s a trap”. Really? Why? . I also love that time when my only problem was to decide between Lipton Iced Tea or Lipton Iced Tea Tonic, but now, I get to pick my drink and… pay for it (what a wonderful world). More seriously, growing up means you’re in charge of your life and make choices for yourself. Sure, jury duty or paying taxes suck (if so, just go to Dubai like my dear friend Pingu ), but knowing you can do whatever you want, wear the clothes YOU picked and come back home waisted at any hour tastes even better than Iced Tea. Can’t you smell the joy of independence in the air?

So don’t be afraid of growing up. Sure that brings many responsabilities but it’s worth the effort. But please, don’t grow old. Aging doesn’t mean you should start becoming boring, bitter and pretentious. That’s what my childish clothes are here for, to remind us not to take ourselves too seriously. Oops, it’s time for me to watch my cartoons gotta go
