Probably nothing that hasn't been said. I never really grew up, but being an adult has been a great ride. All the bills and hard work and relationship problems pale in comparison to just being able to sit still and understand what's going on around you and more importantly Knowing Yourself. I spent the first 10 years of my life seeking and finding, in small increments, who I was. Knowing that has me contented and knowing that I have so much more to learn. This is accelorated by having kids. Someone earlier said that you have to put your dreams on hold for 21+ years, but really, your dreams just morph and crystalize. All the shallow stupid dreams (lots of money, famous, etc) go away and are replaced by ones that are much more important (building a better human, becoming competent in a trade, feeling good about yourself). Not as flashy, but definitely more important.</blockquote>
