// Grow Up Already//
People asked me years ago, “what do you want to be when you grow up”, I don’t really get asked this anymore, sadly. I think people just assume I am a grown up due to me being in my thirties- people and their silly assumptions.
Isn’t it fair to ask kids what they’d like to role play as when they reach an agreed upon age by society that is determined to be the point at which they are no longer cute and fun to take care of; rather than asking, “what are you going to be when you grow up”?
The older I get, the clearer it becomes that society is just a big role playing game. And I’m the one that needs to grow up? What if I don’t want to play the game that others keep changing the rules of. If I have to wear a costume, then I choose to wear a different piece from all costumes, donning all of them at the same time. (except the piece of costume from an editor or English major, because dammit, I cannot pull off spelling and grammar role playing no matter how I might try).
So, people, grow up all ready and start playing games!
(btw, am I supposed to put my name to stuff I write online? I am a blogging n00b… I really need to find someone wearing a Professional Blogger costume to ask)
