You’re totally correct. Everyone does have something they refused to put down. I remember reading that one poem about the ‘time has come to put away childish things’ when I was growing up and I thought ‘I’m not going to give up comics. I love X-Men.’
Well now that I’m in my 40s, my mom was going through my old toys and she found a bunch of old action figures. I took a few and put them up around my desk. I get a lot more people stopping and asking questions about them now. They might not know Shatterstar or Omega Red, but they recognize the message. Find what makes you happy. Fuck everyone trying to make you feel bad for liking something for ‘kids’. It’s all distractions anyway and I like watching an anime about the world getting turned to stone and some dude helping earth rediscover science. What else am I supposed to be doing?
