Transition
Once upon a time, I changed into a different person overnight. What seemed to make sense in the beginning all in a sudden doesn’t. My concepts and perceptions changed.
It hit me when my 19 year-old brother told me during an argument: You won’t understand, you are not one of us. You have forgotten what adolescence is all about.
All in a sudden it occurred to me that I have migrated to the “other side”, the Land of Logic, Conformity, Accordance and Apposition. When did the journey start?
Where was your transition zone? Have you realized already it had long gone?

Oh yes...mine disappeared many moons ago. But you know what? Just because you're not an "adolescent" anymore doesn't mean that you can't relate to them.

That's the problem. I can't seem to relate their logic of spending all pocket money on crap alone and going to work whenever the feeling strikes. Adolescence is not anexcuse for bad behaviour and recklessness.
But then again, I was the EXACT specimen many moons ago.

i don't know if i fully went over to the other side. i don't do well with "adults" even though i am a responsible, reletively successful adult myself. i still act like a twenty year old.

I am not exactly fully on the other side, but at least I have grown a brain as opposed to having not even a speckle of it. I am 24, but I think I act like a cat (but a responsible one)? Definitely. That is so sad.
