I am currently in a lesson where I learn about life, writing about life.
I had this realisation on the bus this morning that I really don't want to be an adult.
When you're young you get special treatment, exceptions are made for you.
You get cheaper cinema tickets.
You get cheaper travel.
People bend the rules for you.
People look after you- they make laws to save you from becoming an alcoholic or crashing a car.
When you're an adult people don't care as much anymore. You're just another one among the crowd.
You're not as... special.
Yeah, you might be able to drink
and drive
and smoke
and be generally more independant
But is that all really worth giving up my shallow worries for ones that actually matter?
Immaturity's coming back into fashion for me. I like it.
So true. I wish I had realized that when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteOften I've heard the phrase -
"Youth is wasted on the young"
So don't be a waste of youth and don't take it for granted.
