Peter Pan - a mischievous boy who can fly and magically refuses to grow up. He fears the thought of change and lives precariously amongst the wilderness of Neverland. Can't blame the kid for wanting nothing but pure happiness, living out his greatest dreams with nothing but his imagination. Neverland... sounds tempting from time to time. Sometime all I want is to be able to diverge myself from this everyday life of mine and escape into my own "Neverland". Five years ago I can truthfully say I once lived inside my Neverland. I had a group of friends (Lost Boys) that stuck together and sought after the amazing adventures life had to offer. We were ONE, close as any family can get. We lived, ate, danced, and breathed together. I am slowly observing a pull from this part of my life. One by one all of us take that leap of faith that brings us into adulthood. One by one I see those before and after me succeed in their every endeavour. Sooner or later we are forced to look behind us and see the next group of youngsters taking over our so-called Neverland. I too am afraid of change. Why change the kind of life filled with joyous camaraderie and never ending smiles and laughter? .. because ahead lies another kind of journey. This journey is something I have already started and ecstatic to see that my group of Lost Boys are currently acquiring. I truly am proud of them, as sad as it is to see them go, Neverland will always be our home away from home.
