I am deathly afraid of growing up. The mere thought of it brings me to tears. I don’t mean to say that being an adult is horrible. Becoming an adult is inevitable, and we all struck that point in life, if we ever get to. But what I mean, is becoming like the grown ups in an old classic, The Little Prince. The adults within the book was so serious, so focused on work, so unreasonable, so strange. So I rephrase the first sentence and say; I am scared of forgetting what it is like to be youthful to the point I become a very, very strange adult.

I would write down all the quotes and explanations, but it would surely take more than just a page.

He is my role model, he is the person I aim to be. When I read about him, I feel a sense of calm. The Little Prince helped
