I just had a disturbing experience...
I was walking my nephew's dog and I walked past a group of high school kids. One of them refered to me as the "man walking the dog." Not "guy," not "person," not "kid," not "boy" -- "Man." Big 'M,' little 'a,' little 'n.' Being called "man" is like being called "sir."
Maybe I'm overreacting, but I never thought that I would be unhappy about growing older (I have just turned twenty). Maybe this is a quarter-life crisis; I can no longer hide behind teenage angst. I have immatured into adulthood, I have to be "serious" about things... No more screwing around. I have to do something with my life, yet I'm as clueless as ever. Isn't life supposed to get easier? What a load of sh!te! Sorry for bitching... It must be because I'm a male and I like to talk about myself a lot (joking!).
