A day like none before and hopefully none to come.
There are certain times in all of our lives where we suddenly understand what it's like to grow up that little bit more. Just lately it feels like I've been experiencing these moments a lot more often than before. Is it a good thing to learn, or bad that your childhood is leaving you quicker than you're ready to let go?
I miss times when things were simple. When you could do something just because you wanted to and it felt right. When you didn't stop before every action because you had to consider everyone else's feelings towards something. That may seem an incredibly selfish statement to make, but that isn't its intention. I simply miss the simple things.
Is this just the 'teenage years' that we just spend our time pondering The Meaning of Life and everything seems worse than it is? Does it get easier, or is this just the beginning?
When people say they need time, what does that mean? What will they know in a month's time that they don't know deep down right now?
Girl craving a little boredom.

It sounds trite, but it's a privilige to reach the stage where one is conscious of the effect one's actions have upon others. Before that stage, when we're children, we're essentially powerless, buffetted about by others' intentions. The arrival of responsibility heralds the point when we start our own negotiations. But yes, it's a strange transition. The lesson is hard to learn: that for each incremental increase in our own freedom, we witness a counterbalancing reduction in our security. It's a complex balance to strike.
Anyway, great post!
