    And I have to accept that I will never be that cool nomad chick, wandering the world with only a backpack, mostly because I’m such a freaking packrat.
    Kid me is so disappointed in adult me.

      When I see those “What would kid you think of you now” I go “Kid me didn’t have any university degrees or a job, so he can cram it.”

        The question is meant to provoke introspection about whether or not you have 100% given up on any of the dreams you had in your youth. A kid who dreamed of being a millionaire would look at an adult self with univeristy degree[s] and a job, and observe that he’s still working towards that same goal. A kid who dreamed of creating epic stories (be they film, cartoon, or literature) would look at an adult self who has resigned himself to a boring office job and surrendered the hopes of doing anything else*, and sock him in the dual core for giving up.
        *The surrender is important. If the adult self resigned to a boring office job but is still writing synopses, drawing characters, or planning narratives in his spare time, the kid would still be proud.

          Ah, so it’s a way of gatekeeping people’s accomplishments by way of their childhood dreams?

            Looking up the definition of ‘gatekeep[ing]’ all made mention to controlling or limiting, so I have no idea what you’re talking about. Sorry.

    On the plus side you’ll definitely live longer. And in better health. And w/out the consummate self loathing and reflexive inclination towards self destruction.

    I think you win this one, Bug.
