Hey I’m just seeing your work for the first time and it seems more appropriate than ever. The nuance I’d like to point out is that the objection seems to be more about how the hero’s journey is represented in our culture, than a problem with the journey itself. Not to mention how entertainment caters to a specific demographic that actually consume mass amounts of media versus those of us who move onto more “real” things in adulthood like politics, raising a family, advancing in career, etc. But the journey at every stage of the microcosm within the macro is still the same- a thesis, antithesis, synthesis, where every synthesis is a new thesis and the story repeats. Your life, my life, everyone’s lives, or perhaps all of the stories of our lives, are no different. It’s always happening, whether you’re perceiving the growth or not. Over a lifetime, it’ll be obvious.
