raise your glass.

here's to the cool adults.

to the adults who never despise youth, because they know they've been there, and to those who tell you that you remind them of themselves;

to the adults who are almost the equivalent of supercomputers, filled with innumerable amounts of knowledge, with no way for others to access it unless they freely share it;

to the same adults, who share with us their wisdom with utmost humility;

to the adults who try their hardest to never let a promise turn empty, so that they will not disappoint a child;

to the adults who are hard at work, and are most serious with the people they work with. not because they are strict or disciplined people, simply because they know how much it matters to invest into people, to build communities, to create lasting relationships;

to the same adults who look at friendships as more than just beneficial;

to the adults who will never say no to an ice-cream, even on the coldest day;

to the adults who listen to you, and really listen to you, then giving you the most honest comments and feedback. they may not be pleasant to be heard, but at least they listened, and they tell you these harsh words so to maneuver you away from the mistakes that they have made;

to the adults who fell in love with playing in the rain, and had never ceased to seize the opportunity to do so since then;

to the adults who acquire others' respect from the air of authority they've gathered over the years, and not from the orders they give;

to the eccentric adults who stay eccentric;

and best of all, to the adults who are somehow still who they were twenty years ago, just like us, except they walk around now with an air of confidence only time and experience are able to give.

here's to the coolest adults.
