    I’m still pretty young yet but one thing I’ve noticed with growing older is how less and less people your age seem to want to have fun. I don’t mean acting silly I mean finding time for joy in life and expressing that inner child. And yet they still make mistakes and deal with them like a kid would :/

    It really feels like being with children acting like adults, who have forgotten how to be children. Just weird lol.

      Yeah, I was always too hung up on being mature, responsible, preparing for the future …. One of the many great things about having kids was rediscovering how to act like a kid!

      It’s like their ego grows to the point it strangles their joy, although I’m still only at the beginning of seeing this in my peers.

      Yeah, one thing that’s held true throughout the years is that no one really leaves high school in their heads. I’m generalizing and referring to groups rather than individuals.
