Now it seems to me that growing up is governed by the will, that one can choose to become an adult, but only at given moments.

There's only one thing like it, when you're up in a plane by yourself, high, high, and only infinity surrounds you. You're intoxicated by the boundless space. W. Somerset Maugham
