20 yrs = suck
So... i'm 20.62 years old right now (according to the threadless website... which you should check out... b/c it's awesome)... and I have come to the conclusion that this is among the worst ages to be. I know that this may be common knowledge... but I am just now starting to realize this.
For one thing, you are all "woot diggity! I'm in my 20s!"... but then after that thrill wears off you're all... well crapogee... 20 doesn't really mean anything... cause I can't really do anything... it is no diferrent from being 18 or 19 really. I basically feel like Wonder Woman with no lasso of truth. I feel like a glow in the dark shirt on the face of the sun! (haha... that's too dramatic.. but I was thinking of analogies and this one came up and made me chuckle on the inside... i hope you enjoyed it too!) But the point is.... 20 is dumb.
So there's that... but then while you're "too young" to be a "full adult"... you are still expected to be an adult. Cause I keep getting, "You're 20 years old!" from my grandmother... it only works if you hear it in a repremanding voice... but yes... I get that a lot. But then I'm still expected to do the stupid family child things b/c I'm the youngest one in the room therefore the lowest on the totem pole. Like today... true story:
Grandma: Alyce [my mother], change the lightbulb in the lamp.
Mom: you get that babe [LAUREN!]
And it sucks. I mean... it's not a big thing but... jeez. I thought that that stuff would end once I was like... old enough to know that I wasn't directly asked to do something... but apparently not. However, when my younger cousins are there as well, I just pass off the little chores and fetchings to them... and it is SWEEEEET! And that is the only true time that I really feel my adulthood.
But as a wise woman once said: I'm not a girl... not yet a woman. All I need is time... a moment that is mine while I'm in between.
HAHAHA... yes... I did just quote Britney Spears. But mostly to say... forget that mess... I am not a girl... so don't patronize me! How about that!?!
But yes... I try to enjoy whatever age I am though... I'm a good sport. Life is short and I realize this... but sometimes I'm just like... ::sigh::
