You know, part of me always wishes I could go back to high school and all. Thinking life was easier, and all that sort of thing. While I believe the level of personal responsibility was far less, the emotional and mental stress and abuse that most of us went through? I'd never go through that again. The perk about being an adult, is that I can stand my ground and tell you to go fuck yourself. I can blow you off, get a cup of coffee, drink a beer that night, whatever. I can let it go. As a teenager, that shit is next to impossible. Especially when that's your life, and you have to see these people every day, and sit in close proximity to them for hours at a time. If I could do high school again right now, at my age, knowing what I know now, it would be cake. Would I go back to being 13-17 again? Especially without the bits of knowledge I've gained in my few years of venturing into adulthood so far? Fuck that. Not a chance. I'll tell you guys what though, there isn't much difference in being an adult. You don't feel any different, you just know more and understand more. And your fuck it meter goes up. It does get easier, though. But the attitudes of high school never really change, so don't expect people to be different. Just be different yourself.
