For the artist, this is a character with a full back story, that I must admit I have not read. What I find interesting is the expressions. Does this piece say that we lose happiness as we age, or perhaps that giddy excitement is for the youth? My visual rhetoric professor always said that intent is less important than perceptions. So, while the artist is more than welcome to add her two cents, I want to know what you, the readers think. Try to base your thoughts on only the image; create your own meaning for it. I don't want this to be a critique on the drawing itself (remember my BE NICE rule), just the meaning derived from it. This might be something fun, and it can give all my lurkers a chance to come out and say hi :)

Don't be afraid to be the first one :D
Ryan Adams, Dr. Kalat, and I disagree. As you get older you become more logical and less emotional. I'll see if I can find the science to back that up, but it may take me a while to find my old biopsych book...
For now take Ryan Adams' word for it:
Oh one day when you’re looking back
You were young and man you were sad
When you’re young you get sad
When you're young you get sad, then you get high
Oh man
I need to get some Ryan Adams.
