What is the Point in growing up?

I still don't understand why I am called grown up? I am still a child at my heart but none would buy that. As far as I remember after 16 I didn't want to grow up.

I didn't want to take the responsibilities that comes with this growing up. But none would listen to me.
They made me something called 'Grown Up'. And they made me learn things and lessons I never wanted to learn. They said Life now will be tough,because you are now a grown up person.

At first did I ask for it?

The person within me still wants to roam about ideally. Play cricket on the rooftop. Play with Hot Wheels. Break them and again buy them.
Read those thrilling story books. Steal a look from that 'forbidden' magazine. Want to tuck a detective novel under my study book.

But they didn't allow me to do that.
Today I have enough money to buy the original books,that I craved for. But I don't have time. So I still couldn't figure out what was the use.

I used to laugh uncontrollably when I was a child. Nowadays I laugh less frown more.

I used to dream once. Nowadays I have nightmares.

I wanted to travel. Now I have money. But where to go. Where is the time? Weekends are salvation days. Those are 'Sleeping Days' and 'Washing Clothes Days'.

Wanted to write stories and Novels. I had little diary,where I used to write.

Today even writing with a pen for 5 minutes becomes a pain. Hence I write blogs.

Still I am trying to figure out why I grew up,when I actually hadn't grown up.

Hope someone tells me that one day.

@Saiko:
As you said I could have written for ages....but here I just wanted to write about one such denial.

My other recent posts are also about those denials.
