Grow up

At what point do children actually become adults? When, instead of being the kids on the street asking for candy do they become the parents giving it out? I have wondered about the question for awhile and the only conclusion I could come up with is that they simply do it out of tradition. I have always heard my collective teachers voices constantly repeating "act your age" "act your age" and I honestly wonder if they know the meaning of the phrase. Couldn't they see that we all were acting our age? Couldn't they understand that we never really grow up? Now I understand that we do mature emotionally and physically but that is a product of nature not of ourselves. I have and will always act my age and it is foolish to assume that being a certain number of years old automatically transforms you into a certain emotional configuration.  I have wanted to vent this for a long time because of the absurdity of the phrase and I hope this stops all zero people who read this from using it.

What happened to opinions?

I'm not trying to make some snobbish remark about the decline of intellect or anything, I just want to know what happened to real meaningful opinions. I have had a theory that people dont think about everything they do and the things that go on around them, Its just not important. For as long as I can remember I have had a curious mind. Whenever I saw an interesting social, moral, or completely normal issue I would think about it until I found an answer. Now my vanity tells me I am intelligent because I do this, but I think its only because I have never been blessed to know someone before. Now when I say know someone I mean actually know them. I have always wanted to see a persons whole intellect and their innermost thoughts on even trivial subjects but I haven't. The reason I think I am intelligent is I guess the result of not having anything to compare myself too. Intelligence and anything else can only be measured when you have something else comparable to it, because if I had 5 dollars and was the only person on Earth I would be the richest man in the world. If I could have a meaningful conversation with another person I think I would be humbled by even the average persons opinions on things they care about. But despite all I have previously said though I still wonder if people are just stupid but I dont think so. I think people are just reclusive animals living in a social setting.

Why did I do this

Ok so I finally gave in to making one of these. This is the definition of another drop in the bucket, except in this scenario the bucket is an ocean. I am not sure what I am going to write here but I am sure I am going to write. For my first post I didn't feel that it was appropriate to make it all filler so I am going to write something. Yesterday I discovered that I have intimacy issues, Im not sure why im putting this here considering the privacy of these types of issues. The terrible thing is that I currently am in like with someone and I would love to see it go somewhere but would hate to see it end two weeks down the line because im stuck in seventh grade. I guess the internet is the one truly private place to discuss these types of things. Its an interesting duality in that the internet is the most populous least private place you can go but at the same time this is a place where people share their lives with complete strangers behind a mask of anonymity. Well im going to go google how to get over this since google is my mentor and most trusted confidant when it comes to shit like this. So here I go everyone, this is my blog.

And im off
