Twentysomething
I am quickly approaching twenty-five years of age. Afford me one small dip into storied cliche territory, dear friends, as I say to you; it seems like only yesterday I was turning eighteen.
I have my fair share of anxieties and wondering when it comes to aging, but this is not what I've chosen to spout off about today.
I find myself at a crossroads of sorts. I cannot really relate to most people my age. Have you ever noticed how quickly people give up and fade away? Ever noticed how quickly friends you knew will fade to the back, get all normalized and suddenly seem just like your parents?
Many would say this is a natural step in aging.
Fuck those same many.
I feel better than I have ever felt. I am not ready to just look for a job with benefits, knock someone up and gain weight.
Fuck that.
I find myself, at twenty four, realizing that I was absolutely right in many of my attitudes I have had since childhood.
So many people I am friends with have grown sooooooo boring. They never leave the house. They never have more than a few drinks. They complain about their bills.
You know what? I don't. I'm the same maniac I have always been and I am far more successful than many.
So here's to NOT getting a haircut and a real job. Here's to old times. Here's to insanity.
I want my twenties to be more than teenage nostalgia. This is not something I will grow out of. I have no desire to settle down.
P.S.
Don't say marriage to me either. I am planning to marry very soon and have a domestic relationship.
