Dear Humans,

“Eventually” must be a child’s most-hated word. Eventually you’ll be tall enough to ride the roller coaster. Eventually you’ll be old enough to sit in the front seat. Eventually you’ll be mature enough to stay home by yourself. 

But eventually comes quick. And when those freedoms do arrive, they always come with responsibilities. It’s nice to be able to eat whatever you want, but soon you’ll spend a lot of time each day figuring out what you’re going to eat. It’s nice to be able to drive yourself around, but before long you’ll spend much of your day stuck in traffic.

Eventually you’ll come to rue that eventually always comes.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
