Random thoughts at four am

[angelogdarknes]

I feel that there is a great downside to being friends with people so much older than me, which is my maturity. I mean, for all the smarts and apparent maturity I have on some things, emotionally I'm still very much immature. Completely so, to the point where someone being in a relationship with me has proven to simply be difficult and unhelpful.

I think what you need to keep in mind is that friendship goes two ways. While you have friends older than you and therefore think 'I need to be mature for them,' those older friends also have to realise that you are still only seventeen. You still have a long way to go to being 'adult' in the sense that, say, I am, and it would be unfair of me to expect you to be that adult when you have so much left to learn and experience.

I don't think you're immature for wanting to still be a kid. It's not like you're refusing to clean your room or going out and vandalising things because you can. And the very fact you notice the difference in maturity and worry about it demonstrates that you are, in fact, mature. But don't stop being seventeen just because you have friends who left that stage of life years ago. It isn't fair to you and it isn't fair of them to deny you the chance to scream 'I'm only seventeen!' at the world.

After all, when I was seventeen? I yelled it, too. You deserve your chance to still be a kid.

Enjoy being seventeen while it lasts. Seriously! Now that I'm in college, I realize there are a lot of things that...I can't do anymore. Being mature is overrated. Just have fun before you're like "oh, yeah, I can't actually go trick or treating anymore"

You can always go trick-or-treating, Christy.

Always.

But...that's why you're loved!

How much older are these friends that you're talking about!? I'm two years older than ya.. and I'm pretty sure that a big reason why I love ya so much is because you are that unique way that you are...

You're so adorable it's SICKENING! Yet.. I can sit down and have a conversation with you about something and you'll be completely perfect...

I'm not sure what set off these thoughts in your head.. but I'm going to blame it on it being 4am with no one to talk to.. I wish we still loved on the same coast.. because I'd talk to you at 4am (I'm often still awake at those times)...

=[ DANIELA! As one of your older friends, I don't think you're that immature. I think you act appropriate to your age, and sometimes older than your age. I don't think you're annoying at all. =]
