Adultescence

I just read an interesting article on the phenomenon of "adultescence," where young adults live like teenagers...through their 30's. My favorite quote:

Our culture constantly lies to us, telling us to just goof off, have fun, and
live for the next "buzz." It pretends like it's giving us something, but in
reality we're being robbed. We're buzzing ourselves numb — losing out on the
delights of knowing God and His ways, the joy of godly marriage, the beauty of
sexual intimacy as God intended it, the incalculable reward of fatherhood and
motherhood, and the blessings of genuine, responsible adulthood.
