You are a lost boy/girl...

We had the marriage talk at church today. They had a guy our age that was married talk about how wonderful marriage was. I just think it's awkward when we have those kinds of talks because they throw it right in our faces. It's like "Look at you..wasting your life when you could be married".
He started off by telling us that he felt sorry for single people because marriage was so great. I thought it was pretty funny! His talk was mainly focused on the Peter Pan Syndrome. Apparently I have it and most single people do.


Peter Pan syndrome is a pop-psychology term used to describe an adult who is socially immature. The term has been used informally by both laypeople and some psychology professionals in popular psychology since the 1983 publication of The Peter Pan Syndrome: Men Who Have Never Grown Up, by Dr. Dan Kiley. (Kiley also wrote a companion book, The Wendy Dilemma, published in 1984.) It is not listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and is not recognized by theAmerican Psychiatric Association as a specific mental disorder.




I thought it was pretty interesting to hear about boys and girls that never want to grow up. When they face something serious even though it's good they run away. Apparently I am a lost boy and I want to be free and fight the pirates and of course never grow up!! hahaha! That totally sounds like me!!! Actually I feel more like Wendy who sews the shadow on to Peter Pan and that tells him what a Mom and a Dad is. She wants peter pan to grow up but he refuses to and so she leaves. Later Peter Pan returns to her home and time has passed by and Wendy is all grown up and has kids and he is still a silly boy. He feels sad but he was too scared to grow up.
My thoughts after hearing this talk was "I don't wanna be a lost boy" and "apparently I am a lost boy/girl". I hope you guys laugh because this is all funny to me:)
