"Meaning is not what you start with, but what you end up with”
Posted by I'm not sure I'm an adult yet at Monday, October 20, 2008So that I don't hold true to this postings title, I shall give you the meaning of the blog title and my signature. I think it's a good way to start...don't you?
The truth is often stranger than fiction....and let me tell you how true that has been lately. When I think back a year or even 5 ago I would never imagine things to be the way they are today. Whether it is the fact that I met my wonderful boyfriend through my dead beat friend or that I am still be making my way through school. And even recent things have seemed to be way to odd to be real. I recently said that I felt like I was in the twilight zone and I still do.
"I'm not sure I'm an adult yet"... a very insightful quote form Johnny Depp. Mr.Depp is in his 40s and feels this way, so imagine only being 23. I feel that way to the fullest. I am at a stage where I am supposed to be the adult figure, the model for children when deep inside I'm still just a kid who wants to have fun. And I've realized that college, although is a place for us to grow it is also a place that hinders us a bit. It doesn't allow us to have more contact with the outside world, with those who are already adults. With limited exposure to the "real adult world", being thrown out into it out of no where is scary. I work with teachers who are only a year or two older than me and yet I feel inferior. Which is why I think my recent decision to distance my self from things like the lounge (a place for commuters to hang out at school) is the best thing I could ever do for myself. It relieves me of drama and stupidity. I stay in contact with those that I want to, which I think is working out pretty good. It's my time to have a little growth spurt.
Ok so that's my first official blog. Gasp! Never did I think I would have one of these. But hey, it was spur of the moment kind of thing. And why not? Let cyber space judge me, I could care less.
