Teenagers

Walking around the bus stop in the summer and watching the teenagers is an interesting study. When I was a teenager, I remember feeling like I was so grown up and could pretty well blend in with a bunch of adults and I can see that same feeling in them.

The funny thing is that they're so wrong. I was so wrong then too. They almost all look so young, and the ones who don't look as young as they are give themselves away when they start interacting with their friends. I don't know what it is that fixes that in the space of just a few years, but something changes that inexperience for most people. Maybe we all have different experiences that make us older. I think mine started with frostbite. I don't know where this is going, so I'll end it there. Just part of the WASTE system.
