Reflections

I haven't really had time to process it, but I've been not a teenager for 24 days now....

On one hand, there is no true significance to this, the idea of teenager is at the core false. Just because our number system is based in 10's and creates this definite edge of "teens" does not reflect and truth towards the human condition of being a teenager. Obviously nothing vital has changed; I'm still in the same school I was in last year, with the same girl I've been with for the last 6 months, acting the same way I have always been for a while now.

But on the other hand, there is a part of me that can feel my youth slipping away.....I watch absolutely beautiful days pass by me from my desk, writing and reading to reach some abstract goal represented by a piece of paper (obviously it is so much more). But I was reading an article on Spike Jonez, in which he says that "There is no difference between childhood and adulthood". I think this will be vital to my sanity in this upcoming school year. Just because my personal and academic responsibilities are becoming more serious doesn't mean I have to become some "adult"...because in the end, what's the point of life if you aren't having a good time?
