You're right. Though it was not my intention to pedestal the nuclear family or building one as an ultimate goal, I suppose I was measuring the milestones of life through the parallels of responsibility and personal growth, and used that observation about him to mean that he sees a future and existence for himself outside of the podcast. And that sort of seriousness and forecasting is a mark of adulthood and maturity, from my perspective.

Will's alright; I guess I was trying to not singularly focus on Felix.

Felix to me is my personal bogeyman, that despite success and affluence, he is seemingly incapable of escaping his adolescence in both his manner of speech, presentation, habits, and career. A "positive" identity is what a person identifies themselves by what they are, Felix has helped me form a "negative" identity by telling myself what I should not be.

I dunno. I just knew people like that, blessed by success or fortune from birth, and saw them spend their lives in adolescence way into their late 30s.
