I know the feeling. I feel as if the ugly realities of the world started to push in on me after my 10th birthday. Much of my teenagerhood was spent thinking about how great it was before I turned 10.
I think that’s why Timothy Leary’s call to “Turn on, tune in, and drop out,” became so popular.
But the world needs adults. Preferably those who can help keep that place for children - that place that the world seems to be trying to take away as we speak.

I wanted to respond to it, but I hadn’t decided what to say.
It kinda rings a bell with me. I have the feeling that we face the world with a different viewpoint when we aren’t thinking with chemicals.
Well considering everything in our bodies is a chemical we are always thinking with chemicals.
But I think you are referring to not thinking while our body chemistry is altered by drugs we have ingested. And you’re probably not referring to caffeine or sugar or some of the other mind-altering substances we ingest on a regular basis.
My point was simply that the world of adults is not fun, but if adults don’t face it, childhood doesn’t have a chance. Just ask those schoolgirls that were abducted by Boko Haram.
