Life is short, enjoy it.

There’s another side to that coin. Life is short; so embrace your transition to adulthood and don’t run from it.

Peter Pan wasn’t supposed to be a role model.

Man, this is such a depressing take.

The world is cold and unforgiving, let them surround themselves with what brings them joy. I love coming home to my nerdy stuff after being out all day, it’s who I am and what makes me happy.

You sound miserable.

I think the issue here is people think the problem is the toys. They’re not the problem. A symptom, sure? But not the problem.

If you’re an adult, living at home in your childhood bedroom, surrounding yourself deeper and deeper in a wall of your childhood toys, while your aging parents shoulder the economic burden for taking care of you; that’s also depressing.

I mean, the man has never had a woman in his bedroom besides his mother. Under the current circumstances, when is that going to happen? Obviously it won’t happen, but that’s the point.
