Random thoughts
Random thoughts is going to be a new addition to my LJ. If I have a random thought in my head, I am going to post about it if I am within typing distance of a computer. Then, discussion shall open up in the comments section.
Today's Observation:
I am 23 years old. Most people I know are approx. the same age, give or take. I don't consider myself a full-fledged adult, but then again I am not a child anymore either. I am on the road to adulthood, and I am OK with that (to a point). Why is it that it seems as though I am heading towards adulthood, while everyone around me seems to be traveling 70mph in the other direction?
Sure, I do know a few people who are on the same road as me, but I am almost drawn to change my direction and see what the big deal is about. But, I've been there before...nothing has changed, except for the fact that I am somewhere I shouldn't be. I can't understand how people my age could still be living the life of a "carefree teenager", in more ways then one. Sure, you have the "ability" to live a life like that, but is it really the best decision you could be making? Opportunity slaps these people in the face, and they return that until they have beat it into the ground just so they won't disrupt their own comfort and frivolity.
Your turn.
