TheRogueParadox

I am beginning to feel a great settling of peace within my soul. That this is the way things are meant to work out, that I know who I am, that I know how the world works, that I'm mature and able to handle anything. I feel like an adult, but I feel at peace because I don't feel like a "grown-up." The magic still lives within me, I'm just older and able to handle things now.

I feel like some people won't be able to handle it. Maybe some of them will be confused, not understand, demand I act like the silly immature thing I was as a child, or that I give everything up and "grow up." Being an adult doesn't mean being a "grown-up" to me anymore. "Grown-ups" are boring, stupid, and downright mean.

And if people don't understand me being adult but not "grown-up," then that's fine. It doesn't bother me anymore. I don't have to please everyone, and I don't have to keep them all around, either. If they don't like who I am, well… tough. I'm at peace and they can go be not at peace wherever they feel like.

I think things are going to be a lot different after Christmas this year. In the best way.
