Feelings
There is a time in every life when decisions must be made.
A time to lay aside the childish dreams of youth and clothe oneself in the garments of adulthood. There is no escaping this inevitable "Day of Reckoning" for it comes unbidden to every one of us, stealing into our fantasy world of happiness with the stealth of a tiger. No, you can't run from this moment, for once it is upon you it holds you tight, unwilling to relinquish its grip even unto death. What, then, shall I do you ask; shall I loose my dreams and give myself over to this new responsibility. No, I say, you must learn to master this new you, you must make this your ally and use it to your benefit. "When I was no longer a child I put away childish things". Hold onto your dreams and never give away that small part of you which remains a child forever. At the same time, however, put away the mannerisms of childhood and take up the miter of responsibility, accept with great joy the obligations and the rewards of adult life.
