Shit adults say to themselves and to each other:
“I can’t do this”
“I shouldn’t do this”
“Don’t blow it”.
“Not good enough”
“It’s wrong”
“That’s a CLM”
“No budget”
“It won’t sell”
“It sucks”
“Think about it”
“Don’t worry”
“They won’t like it”
“That’s not allowed”
“Give Up”
“Why?”
“It doesn’t make sense”
“When I’m free”
“Next Monday”

Shit teenagers say to themselves and to each other:
“I’m going to be somebody”
“Fuck it”
“Okay, let’s do it”
“Any time, any place”
“Hell yeah”
“Fuck yeah”
“Oh well”
“Mine”
“Sorry”
“It’s fun”
“Just because”
“HAHAHAHAHAHA”
“Sure”
“Don’t quit now”
“Whatever it takes”
“No one can stop me”
“You can’t label me”

It’s hard sometimes to drown out those voices urging you to be an adult. It’s haunting. I think what’s been working is to just set a course for where I want to go and then just set it to auto-pilot, cruise-control. Then I can enjoy the ride, have some fun, and assume I’ll end up at the desired destination.
