running with yesterday’s theme
Not a new thing in this space, certainly, but damn, if Carrie Vaughn didn’t just write something I feel like I could’ve written myself:
My eyes kind of bug out when anyone talks about wanting to be a kid again, or that high school was the best time of their lives. Being a kid means being dependent, and being limited to what other people decide for you, not what you want for yourself.
Yep – adulthood, especially when you’re comfortable enough to define what that means for yourself*, rather than ahere to someone else’s definition, is a pretty sweet deal.
