No, you never stop growing up. My 102 year old friend says she doesn't
really feel grown up, or any different in her mind than she was when she
was 25 years old (in 1917!). I think every experience we have helps
us to grow, or grow up, or whatever. Now, if we're talking about
growing up in the sense of "maturing", I know of several people a good
bit older than myself who still have a great deal of growing up to do.
I'd like to believe that they are *late bloomers*.

i know that, but i want to spend time i this form, because once you
bloom, eventually you fade away, and dry out. :(

Why? Who ever said the comparision had to go that far?
Maybe we bloom and if we bloom the way we were meant to we will
be in bloom forever.... hope so.

Feeling and being are too VERY different things.
Sometimes it's hard to know the difference.

but remeber that society also playes a HUGE part in how old you are ..
requardless how young you may fell....there are sytill going to be people
younger who want you to be old so they can take your place.....
so society forces you to become old........

Define grow up. I think we can stop getting more mature, w/o losing
our ability to grow. Too much maturity is bad. I still need more of
it at the moment, tho.

Re #7: Never trust anything morrisey says, just stuff a rock in a pack of
cigarettes and throw it at him. I know someone who did that.
I'll never stop growing up that's for sure. My tastes will always be changing,
maturing, if you will. But right now, I'm happy being immature.

well, just that if we become too organized and structured, which is
what maturing mainly means to me right now, then we stagnate. I know
people whom I consider EXTREMELY mature that I would never wnat to be
like.

I disagree, flem. I think that people stagnate only when they never
"let their hair down." I think people can grow, mature, and develop
without stagnating, but rather creating more opportunity for them-
selves because of their experience.

Yeah, but if they grow so "mature" that they don't want to let their
hair down, then they are too mature. That's what I'm almost afraid of.
I don't think I'm in much danger of that anytime soon, tho. :)
