'We were all promised heaven in our lifetimes and what we
ended up with can't help but suffer in comparison.
And God You get old so quickly' (Generation X
)

Sometimes it seems that the day to day takes over from the goals we once had. We get a job to tide us over, our expectations diminish and the trivial becomes inproportionately important. We mortgage our lives on fame and the quick fix, terrified of not making a 'success' of our lives or finding our place.

Are we stuck in a rut? Are our dreams unrealistic?
Or is this just how growing up goes?

When I grow up I want to be a princess who falls in love
And sleeps on a bed of feathers and butterflies
And be a ballerina and sing songs
And be a mermaid with long blond hair
And leave a trail of breadcrumbs so I never get lost

And be like everyone else
YOU. WILL. BE. HAPPY.
