Rant against Adulthood

First I should expose a bit from myself to create a proper context: I'm a Colombian citizen and I'm 23 years old. Now continue:

Well this is going to be a rant against the so called adulthood, which so far I have seen it only has brought negative effects on the people who think they should grow, mature, become adults in general.

Being an adult usually means accepting the thoughts of the big bloody group of people who thinks they are adults too, this leads to mass conformism, people dismiss their dreams and stop pursuing them. So for me, I hate to hear "Grow up", "Mature", "That's for children". So well I don't care, I enjoy the point of view of the children, there's no known limitations to them with the difference of I try to work for my dreams and make them come true, even if that means sacrifice and re-educating myself in the process. Then again, for me adulthood is like the end of the dreams and I'm going to avoid that as long as I can.

One thing every boy and girl should learn, but not every adult had learnt is the fact that failure comes in larger portions than success; fortunately most of us prefer to keep track success and forget about failures.

For now I'm not and adult nor a child, so let's see how long I can avoid being consumed by the mass or else If I attract some of that mass to my current standing ground.

Well that's pretty much it, this is the first writing and let's call it a draft, since it needs proper review from people, adding more ideas and trimming some others.
