Peter Pan Syndrome

The uncontrollable undeniable natural yearning to stay forever young at heart. Not immature but playful. Not naive but constantly curious and wondering. Disinterest towards more responsibilities (having children/family) but more so interested in playing-having good times-exploring-traveling-learning-getting lost.

Pan-Africanism

Pan-Africanism is the social and cultural movement of the unification of all individuals with African descent or origin no matter if they lived in or outside of Africa.

The idea is for all those who are African to come together, collaborate, and bring strength back into the people of Africa who have been exploited, abused, enslaved, murdered, and torn apart by the Europeans for far to long.
The creator of this movement was W.E.B Du Bois with the help of Delany, Crummel, and Blyden.
How to become a member:

Must be a person of true and honest character who have shown that they are committed to the education, influence, inspiration, and cause of the movement's goals.
Pan-Africanism:

Black Brotha: I heard you're a Pan-Africanist?
Black Sista: I sure am and what about it?
Black Brotha: Word? I know that's right! Can I join the cause?
Black Sista: Of course you can join , let's unify our people together✊🏾

Personal Pan Pizza

A depraved form of masturbation, this is when an individual engages in auto-fellatio while defecating. In other words, a self-blumpkin.
Andrew: Jesus! What are you doing to yourself?!

Noah: The Personal Pan Pizza. Do you have any toilet paper?

Peter Pan Syndrome

Peter pan syndrome (PPS) is a condition where an adult acts much younger than others of their age group. PPS can be temporary or long-lasting. Someone with PPS demonstrates at least three of the following characteristics:

1. Knowledge and use of youth culture that is unusual when compared to their peers in age
2. Having most of their friends and/or major relationships with people much younger than their age OR with people who also have PPS
3. Avoidance of saying their age; when describing themselves, may use phrases such as "young at heart", "adventurous", "young soul", "never grew up", "one of the cool ones", "carefree", etc.
4. Having a consistent pattern of failed commitments (career/romantic relationships/other major adult responsibility); directionless in life goals
5. Constantly missing their youth and frequent attempts to recreate it
6. An inability to mentally view themselves at their current age
7. Deliberate avoidance of responsibility or being uncomfortable with commitment

It can result due to multiple reasons, such as (but not limited to) a fear of aging, existential anxiety, or a personality disorder in severe cases.

See "Wendy Syndrome" for someone who enables, feels responsible to "fix", or acts in a caregiver role to the person with PPS -- often resulting in a unhealthy or codependent relationship.
The first step to fix peter pan syndrome is to acknowledge that you have it.
