We think the magic of childhood is something we'll never get to experience again, we see childhood as a transient stage. We think that we're children only once.

But let me tell you, that's a lie. It's a lie that we need to be told so our deadlines can be met and our cities can be built. So we can take care of laws and wars. We need that lie for this world to work the way they want it to work.

The truth is, we're always children! It's not a stage. It's who we really are. We just grow bigger, that's all. And when you're bigger, you're supposed to do all those things like mathematics and marriage.

We are always inside of our childhoods, we never really leave that place. Time goes by and we start paying bills and stop believing in people. And we act like we can take it.

Nobody's not a kid anymore. We wear different costumes now and we struggle with different monsters. But it's all still costumes and it's all still monsters under our beds.

Don't you see? Nothing really changes and if we could see ourselves from the outside looking in, we'd see children; inhabiting their childhoods; with closets full of bigger costumes and bigger monster-homing beds.
