Happily Blind/Maturity

So here I am,
Growing older all the time,
Looking older all the time,
But feeling younger in my mind.
And here I am,
Doing everything I can,
Holding on to who I am,
Pretending I'm a Superman!!
-Superman, Goldfinger

Dear Readers,
      This post was originally meant to be two posts, (hence the double title) but the two seem to go together, and I don't have much time to spend on these anymore, so here's my rant.

Happily Blind
One of my friends has the habit of saying 'people don't change'. I disagree with that. People are constantly changing and developing as time progresses. While certain atributes may stay with us our whole lives, most of us will leave this world a totally different person.  I hate this. The world, it seems, is growing up and leaving me behind. I take, what seems to me, the only option. I don't pay attention to progress. I live my life the way that works for me, having fun while I still can. I don't want to deal with shit that's going to slow me down. I'm going to live until I can't anymore. So, I may be blind to reality, but my reality is much easier to fathom.

Maturity
When most people think of maturity, most people think of taxes, suits, and not laughing at the word sex. I think this is a bunch of BS. I think maturity is examinining your life and realizing what works for you and what doesn't, and I think you are mature when you understand and aply this. I joke around, and I have fun, and I go with the flow. That doesn't make me immature. That seems to be the only way I can cope with life. It works and I am content. To all you people who call me and my friends immature, fuck off.

-Me.
