RE: Fake Grown-Ups

in #life7 years ago (edited)

I'm talking about that longing for adventure, freedom, and spontaneity. Seeing the world through the eyes of a child.

This*. Man, you just keep putting out posts that I could have written if I could write as well as you. It's good, as I don't have to worry about getting my thoughts out. I should just cut and paste your posts and stick my name on them. You cool with that...? :p

*edit: and a million other quotes I could have included. The adult thing. Like you, one day I just stopped pretending. I'm sick of all the other automatons in society, not living for themselves, but living for others. I can barely stand talking to these people. I honestly get on better with kids and animals. For them life is simple and amazing, which is what it should be for all of us.

I think I might have to add more replies as the day goes on. In truth, I've only read half your article so far, as my brain isn't really working yet for the day. Full function expected within approximately 2 hours...

I'm embarrassed by this reply. You got so many well thought out replies, and then a barely coherent mind dump from a jelly-like mind. I think I might reboot later and try for a slightly deeper reply..

I am not yet replying to comments so you have time to make edits lol. I'll get back to this.

haha, good. I think I'll do another different reply and make a better effort. Brain still not at full functionality yet.

Lol, that's why I see myself spending time alone these days. I guess I'd rather be on my own than pretend being an adult with other adults.
