Aging... But not so gracefully...
It seems that as one grows older many things, (some undesirable, and some not) make themselves present that were never there before. Odd, isn’t it? How we attempt to make everything the way we want it, only to have it change, regardless of how little we want it to change. For one, people tend to expect more from someone older. Despite the fact that idiocy is common even over the age of twenty. It seems some people don’t want to grow up. They mask the maturity, substituting complete stupidity where maturity and responsibility should go. Then, as they grow even older, they attempt to hide even the physical signs of age. Wrinkle cream, workouts, and generally dressing/acting in an attempt to associate with Generation X, when in reality, GenX’ers don’t even want that association. Time forces change. I find myself looking at the future a lot more lately. It’s like, three years ago; I could care less about when I turned 18. It was just another; albeit a “cooler” age to reach. Now, it’s like all these things present themselves that weren’t an issue until recently. Like college. I’ve never really thought about college. Sure, I’ve dreamed about taking Full Sail’s film program, but is it likely? Not really. People’s perception of who you are and what is expected changes. I find that, as of late, I’m getting a talking to about things I’ve been able to get away with in the past. Why? People don’t expect it from someone my age. However, I really don’t want to grow up. I want to stay the same goofy, irresponsible, funny, girl magnet that I’ve always been. Ok, sorry. As you can see, it is terribly difficult for me to stay serious for long. Hence this humorous birthday list I plan on giving to anyone that asks.Update: Here is the birthday list...
