Getting it out of my system. It's difficult to because of how I am constantly surprised or how I get so thrilled with a newly discovered insight into this thing I am in. Psychmajorproblems, non-stop analysing of human behaviour.
Sometimes, when things change, it takes a while for it to be realised. Like how there is a boundary between friends of the opposite sex when we hit a certain age. Because when you're an adult, a working adult especially, and in a relationship, physical demonstrations of affection between male and female friends are not exactly acceptable. And this new awareness only crept in after graduation. I didn't think that leaving school would change anything so soon, but it kinda did. And to such a degree, that I feel my peers are ahead of me. Emotionally and cognitively, they have progressed forward because of their inclusion into the working world. Social situations are no longer quite the same because we tend to now do things that require more money and thus, these activities are usually exclusive to adults. I knew things would change. What I did not expect was how fast and how apparent these changes would be. I am not exactly unprepared, but honestly, how do you prepare for everything in life? And I am cognizant of why there are new social rules. I mean, if I were in a relationship, I probably would not be entirely okay with another woman being overly familiar with my partner, however platonic their friendship was.
So my journey of early adulthood has just ended, quite like the river that has just joined the sea. And at the moment, my sea is choppy with the impending storm.Labels: Teenage love-affair
