Why do we lose our wide-eyed wonder? We grow up and try to fit the world in the confining space of comfort. We let the earth's orbit of the sun become little more then a dull monotony. The truth of the matter is that each year is a swirling ride of beauty and terror.
  Once we were small, once we were not afraid to dream things too big for our comprehension. Once the world was a wild to be tamed. Now we are grown-ups. We have forgotten the fairy-tales of old, forgotten the world is an adventure. In our false sense of maturity we deem ourselves too old to discover. We are afraid of being built up and broken down.
  Someday we will be forced to tear away the façade of maturity. We will have to be shattered. We will learn again what a beautiful and terrible place the world is outside of grown-up land.
