The Night And I Are Still So Young

Warning: mopey emo post ahead

Gen said an interesting thing to me the other day. "It's sad how we think we're so mature but we're probably not even close." It got me to thinking about how I live my life, and just what is meant by mature. In one sense of the word, I think I'm very mature. I'm respectful of others; I don't go out of my way to do harm to others, whatever "harm" may be; I work hard; I have realistic goals for the future. On the other hand, I also lead a very sheltered life. My curfew is pretty early compared to most of my friends, I'm not allowed to bus by myself to a lot of places in the city, even in the afternoon, until very recently I rarely ever went out on weekends (except for reffing). Mature means living? Will I start to live more when I'm 18? When I'm done IB exams (in 30 days)? Not until the summer? The night and I are still so young.

If you're ever in need of a quick new music fix, just start up Limewire or any other filesharing program, and search SXSW in the album section.

Edit: we'll have none of that.
