I abhor the way adulthood translates into an exclusion of sorts; the divisions it creates, even more lucidly than in childhood – separations along economic status, job title, gender, religion, and sexuality. We all merely exist in a small bubble, desperately terrified to break through conformity.

I like this post and can especially relate your thoughts on everyone being scared into conforming. Why does adulthood mean playing it safe and not embarking on new adventures?
