"It's time for you to grow up!" the harsh voice said.
These words echoed through my head over and over again.
I had always lived in a sort of fantasy world where I could say and do anything I wanted to.
Now that I'm older, the harsh realities of life are becoming almost too much to bear.
I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of people who have plans and know exactly what they want to do with their lives and here I am…stuck.
I never wanted to grow up; I still don't.
If I could be a kid forever, I would.
But I guess it just isn't as realistic as I once thought.
I long for the days of my childhood where my biggest worries were what show was I going to watch when I got home from school.
These memories seem so far away now and I would give anything to have one more day surrounded in the joys of my childhood.
I want to run, run away, escape it all.
Away to a place where my worries will disappear.
Is there a place like this out there?
"Neverland." a soft voice called to me.
The voice sounded like home.
I had longed for that feeling of belonging all my life. The feeling that I was wanted, that I was part of something.
This was my chance… to seize my destiny.
To have all the dreams I ever wished for to come true.
I followed the voice to a magical land where I would never have to worry about growing up.
And I have been there ever since.
