Sometimes I feel like I somehow ended up growing up when all I've done is try to not grow up. Sometimes I feel like I'm one of few in my age bracket who did grow up.
A lot of times, I feel like I'm still 16. Not only because I can totally just lose myself to fun/adventure/silliness/kid behavior, but because so many people around me seem to think we're still in high school and create drama.
I've realized that I have turned into my mother. I think because I tried not to turn into my father (there's a semihidden sitcom reference in that).
That said, no offense to my mom, but she never had great advice for how to deal with drama in my high school years. I think that probably has to do with the fact that she had bigger, deeper drama happening in her teen years. Stupid crap like, "Jenny is mad cuz the guy she likes likes me, but I don't like him, so it's not my fault," is something she never dealt with.
