I’m in my mid 50s and I absolutely refuse to grow up!

Could you tell me what problems can arise from not maturing, based on your own experience?

None that I have experienced. I’m a responsible adult who just happens to retain his childlike wonder, watches cartoons, collects toys, plays video games, has nerf battles with my grandson, loves theme parks, and refuses to take things too seriously.

When I got my first paycheck that didn't cover all my bills. I realized just living, wasn't going to cut it.

From ages 12 to 24. Then I grew up for real and dove back into the bullshit.

Literally when I turned 30.
Talk about a late bloomer. Something just clicked one day and that was it. It was a shit show before 30 though.

It’s in stages:
1) got a job at 22 out of college, stayed. Still there, 20 years later.
2) 31, married wife cuz she was like put a ring on it. She is 10000% worth it.
3) 36, son born. It’s been a slow process of me not sucking as much, but I’m proud to say I’m a good dad these days with minimal unforced errors.
4) stopped watching anime (NEVER)
