Your parents are wrong. You will never be too old for sleepovers with your besties. It is 4 am. I\u2019m in bed right now with my bestie talking about Transformers. We were cackling a few minutes ago. We are 30 years old. Sleepovers will always be the bestest thing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m 38 and I RP with my best friend, squee about Transformers with her, talk Steven Universe theories, and lots more. I also make plush dolls, and take my own plush dolls with me on trips. As my father likes to tell me: he\u2019s never grown up, he just has to do adult things sometimes. And he\u2019s in his 60s. It\u2019s all relative. Do what you love to do and screw anyone who thinks that\u2019s not being adult.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So much of what they tell you you will grow out of? It\u2019s a choice. You get pressured out of it. Never let that happen.<\/p>\n

The first thing I bought when I moved out and was settled? Was a nerf gun. Because I was told I was too old for toys and I\u2019d always wanted one.<\/p>\n

Most unhappy adults I know don\u2019t have passions because they were told they got too old and it was unrealistic.<\/p>\n

Literally DON\u2019T LET YOUR DREAMS STAY DREAMS<\/p>\n

My parents told me I was too old for toys, for kids shows, etc. But you can have those interests and be an adult. It\u2019s okay to to be child-like<\/a>. Hell, who makes children\u2019s media?<\/p>\n

Adults do.<\/p>\n

So have your sleepovers, wear your cute pjs, chat with your bestie, have marathon movie nights, write fanfiction, draw fanart, play video games, enjoy things. You got one life. Live it the way you want and live it well.<\/p>\n

xkcd did one of the BEST comics on this.<\/a><\/p>\n
