I love how the message of SpongeBob as a character is that you don't have to suppress your joyful nature to be an adult. You can be an adult thats true to themselves and in touch with their silly side. You should just be you since you're the only person who can ever be you
A journey grows aimless without a destination, a bed loses value if you don’t come to it ready to sleep, your potential is limitless, but your time is not.
