"I'm growing up too fast. I went to Magic Kingdom yesterday and the rides were cheesier and nothing was as tall and daunting and full of mystery as I had once imagined. I miss when I lacked a grasp on reality, when I really thought I was surrounded by magic, not illusions and marketing ploys. I spent all day in this bubble of nostalgia, wandering down the streets I'd been down a dozen times before, but seemed untouched by this newer, older, and anything but self-assured version of myself.
Despite Peter Pan being my favourite Disney movie and character, I never really understood why he never wanted to grow up. But I get it now.
I never want to grow up either, Peter."
