And so life goes on..

[Kenzya]

Lately I've been thinking about growing up. About how when I was little I never thought I'd be so close to leaving the house. I was so innocent and I had so much fun just watching TV and that stuff. Now I'm 16 and I'm thinking about my past... I don't even really have a past yet..

I remember things like spending everyday with my brother. Now he's married and I barely have anytime to spend with him. Spending almost everyday with my uncle.. now he lives in Virginia while I'm here in Chicago. Then I just remember about being little. About how I thought I'd never grow up and about how it seemed like it would never come.

It seems like yesterday that I was jsut some stupid 12 year old but now I'm 16. It's not exactly that I'm scared of the future or change, although that is a big part of it, it's just that it will never happen again. I can't relive it or anything.

I know I'm not the only one who's ever had this problem. I'm just asking how do you guys deal with it?

Edit: I must've been emotionally brainfucked when I wrote this. It's still true though..

Go jack off.

I watch my favorite childhood shows to help mysefl cope.

Little Bear, David the Gnome, etc.

I have the same problem you do and I'm not sure yet how it's all going to work out.

[Kilgamayan]

Goddamnit, why did I agree to not be an asshole.

I had the PERFECT follow-up to Privateer's post.

I like how I never had to worry about anything when i was a kid.

I just remind myself that there's far more ignorant, lazy, and stupid people than me that have gotten through life fine.

You need to get used change, I have grown to like it.

[Varia]

You eventually forget about it until you remember it again.

It just keeps going like that until you die.

I hate the future, it's been creeping up on me too. This year I'm a senior, and I have to go apply to colleges, which sucks. I feel your pain, i miss being young and careless...

[Squeek]

Meh. there isn't too much "carefreeness" as a kid. Your parents always force you around places and make decisions for you. When you're older they loosen the holds and allow you more and more rights to do things. Once they entrust you with a car, you're set.

Damn nostalgia... MrESqueek, that the carefreeness of being a kid. you are told what to do so you don't really have to make big decisions. I deal with nostalgia by just sorta...moving on, I guess. I'll think about my past and then...I don't really know. I stop thinking about it.

[Master_of_PARANOiA]

Kenzya, maybe you should go kill yourself so your life stops going on and on.

[Mwerp]

Have as much fun as you can now. Once you leave high-school you'll see all your buddies a lot less and probably move away somewhere to go to college. That's the only change I don't care for that I can think of.

I miss the good ol days, too. Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was good. I didn't have to worry about girls, looks, dressing myself, wiping my own ass, etc. Gosh, I miss those days...
