While I do enjoy the perks, such as having more freedom to be myself and do whatever I want, I gotta say, I have less idealistic views on adulthood. Never liked the idea of growing up when I was a little kid, and so in a way, I never fully grew up. Personally, my adulthood sucks. It's not awesome at all. I live as if i'm still 16 or so, i'm too terrified to drive, so I can't get my license, I don't have a job, and what gets me most of all, is that I don't have a girlfriend I can be with. So i'm pretty jealous of those who have those things, since the grass is always greener on the other side.

I liked my childhood a lot more. Sure, I had more restrictions and rules placed upon me, but those were for my own safety. I had less responsibilites, and the only thing I had to worry about was to stay safe and healthy, and to have a good time. Those were the golden years for me. The minute I became a teenager, things went to Hell in a handbasket. I'm sure that may be because I let things go that way, but in any case, I still didn't like my experiences as a teen, and the same holds true for me as an adult.

I don't mean to be a killjoy, but I felt I should be honest and upfront with the people I consider as my friends. And on a more positive note, i'm still hopeful that things will go my way someday. Life isn't easily predictable, and neither are people.
