I Don't Want to Grow Up
It's no secret that I'm going kicking and screaming into adulthood, but I just don't understand the mentality of people my age. It seems that people act one way in high school, another way in college, then it seems that the second they graduate they become boring adults. I feel like whenever I talk to someone from school, all people talk about is work. Work takes up a lot of my time, but it's not my main interest or the highlight of my day. It's sad that we have to be defined by our careers. It's the same thing with people in serious relationships, or married. At what point do hobbies and interests take a back seat to career and marriage? I mean I have a full time job, but once I'm done; I'm thinking about records, going to shows, band practice, painting/ drawing, riding my bike, etc... I don't want to seem immature, but why become a boring adult at 24, when you have plenty of time to "settle down" later in life. I want to keep my interests separate from my career. I'd rather talk about owning an original copy of the Clitboys 7", or that I showed my paintings in an art show, than talk about my stupid job.
"why should older mean boring/ why should kids only have fun"- I Object!

lol. Kicking and screaming might actually be generous. But seriously, people spend most of their time talking about work or relationships because that is what dominates their lives. For most people finding time and energy to do something else, well it's almost impossible. Most people would rather just use the time to sleep. Just wait till they start having kids, then the fun really ends. Conversations become dominated by what my kid did yesterday, not what I did yesterday. I do agree that it is sad. You are a good example of how people can do both. It's refreshing to be around you and get conversation that isn't centered around the "adult" things in life. I appreciate the effort you put in to still have fun.
sometimes life routines and responsabilities of being "adult" take of that fun but is your decition to keep the fun or let your responsabilities kill him.
