A really great friend of mine emailed me about yesterday's post. She said some amazing stuff to me, as she always does, but the best thing she did in that email was share a video with me that made me laugh pretty hard because of how true it is. I'm turning 32 in March. For me, that number seems pretty high. That means when my next book comes out in May, it will have been FOURTEEN years since I graduated high school. Fourteen. 14. No matter how I write that, it seems insane that so much time has gone by because I swear it was just yesterday. To those older than me, you may be laughing and saying I'm still a spring chicken! To those younger than me, you may be wondering what it's like to be thirty-two.
Honestly, it's not that much different than twenty-two. At least that's how it feels right now. I see how I've matured, how much I still need to grow, how much I've learned and lost and loved and accomplished and all that, but I am still the same person, and the world with all the people in it - well, in so many ways, it still seems the same as when I was in school. The same base issues. That's why this video struck me as so hilarious. Sadly hilarious. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
And yes, for how much I love this video, that would be my cynical side (I mentioned in my last post) coming out. But, on the flip side! The good thing is that even though real life often seems like it's just like high school, I don't think it has to be a bad thing - and how you view the world is entirely dependent upon, well, yourself.
