Turning 18

[greenmansdream]

My daughter turned 18 yesterday. And it was a day of disappointment for her on a few levels. She is mad at society for making us all have pre-conceived notions about what happens at certain markers in one's life. She didn't get a car. She didn't have a sparkly huge party with all her friends at a fancy restaurant with relatives flying in from all

Damn, for a scientist I sure write a lot: just smack me if you want me to shut up ;^)

First, birthdays are overrated. Thanks to society, we set up images in our mind of how we think they should be. But unfortunately, knowing and understanding that doesn’t make it hurt any less when real life doesn’t live up to our expectations. And that goes for things other than birthdays as well. It’s like we have this idea of What Life Should Be, but our idea turns out to be just a fairy tale

Oh Gawd! I hope there's no quota! That would mean I have really screwed it up for quite a few people! :)
