If anything, I generally try to recapture any lost tracks with what time I can fit into life for those nostalgic goodnesses..
You've really covered a lot of nuances and levels here already :> For those who do leave a youthful embrace, some may choose to... and others may be swept beyond their control. Others yet have the ability, perhaps even luxury of never fully needing to lose those early things they cherish. And as you say, some can never quite go back.
Others still may have the blessing of learning which are the most fulfilling, therefore leaving a few of the childhood pursuits and allowing more room for a few of the best ones, be they comics, music, art, etc... all the while balancing somehow the demands and requirements of adult life. I think this is where I sorta fit. ^v^
Like, always trying to keep a few traditions, like San Diego Comic Con... while keeping a watchful eye out for new and valid ones to to fill gaps left by things lost, where possible.
not I, good sir..
