Wake up and never grow up
February 10, 2008
It’s February of the year that I turn 21 years old. My birthday is in October, so it’s far too early to be thinking about it, but I am living the twenty-first year of my life as I type this, and dammit I feel old. I remember writing silly blog entries in my various websites hosted by everyone imaginable (sans Oprah and The Pope) and I started when I was 13 years old. I didn’t think I was young back then, but I was young back then, and I would post about the dumbest things. Remember when LiveJournal was invite only? That’s when I first got a LiveJournal, and I would post about silly things that happened in my life. I would write about how much I loved writing, and my writing back then sucked.
I mean, yeah my writing still sucks, but at least it’s much better than when I was 14 years old.
I can’t picture myself as a 40 year old. I still feel like a 12 year old right now, like I’m still going through puberty. I love all sorts of child-like things, and I’m glad I still do. I would get made fun of for liking these things when I was 12 years old, but now I take pride in enjoying things like Nick Jr., and pet stores, and even playgrounds. Maybe the fact that I still look like a 12 year old is part of the reason why I feel like like one.
I wish I was immortal. I would love to be this age forever and see how the world ends. I’d like to see how we would evolve, or even devolve.
I just can’t become old. I know I’d be a great mother, even a great grandmother, but I love my life right now, and I love my age, and I am very grateful. So what if I’m unlucky in some fields? I am happy, and I would like to be happy forever.
Also, it would be really awesome if I had to save the world via adventure. It would be even more awesome if I could control time.
