And hey, men, what's wrong with you?

we never grow up completely. i bet you knew that.
speaking for myself, there's still this kid in the back of my mind with its pure ideals, enthusiasm, having fun and all that. and sometimes when 'the real world' comes in, it's so sad to realize how easy is to fool me. having to cope with that world and giving up some of those ideals.

and for myself, there have to be dreams. little dreams, big dreams, any you like. and when you fulfill one, theres dozen new ones - and that's what makes it worthwhile.
 
i didn't experience much change after puberty since i never had a really hard phase. at some point i began to go out, date girls ans stuff, but it all went fluently without all the testosterone overdoses other lads may have had.
if it gets better or worse? i think worse. in your youth you still retain some portion of naivity and face everything up front and are curious about new stuff. nowadays i've gotten way too cautious. i really wish i could for example love a woman 100% and be willing to give 110% to her again. but i can't because i made my mistakes and had my experience. youth was really great to just live into the day.

I don't know, things have been going up for me since puberty (which was a shitty time of my life). I'm going to a university, I toured around with a band for a while, and I feel like what I'm doing is worthwhile. Plus, being older has given me more freedom. Then again, I haven't had a full time job yet and I know once I'm done with school, I'll have to get one. I really can't tell if the real world is lousy or not because I'm 21 and I've been in school a long time.
 
Well I've lived on my own since I turned 19 and therefore was 'forced' to have a fulltime job. But I wouldn't completely complain bout my current life. It's pretty good, plus I'm well more balanced than I was before. Lots of thinking and soul seeking got me here :cool: Actually I just made one of the biggest (if not _the_ biggest) decision in my life to make a u-turn, so I'm pretty satisfied with myself for now. Few years ago I wouldn't have been so confident and determined. Life can get pretty good if you learn about your mistakes (or the lack of...) and decide to do something with it.

rafael, dunc obviously hasnt had much luck finding an honest woman :Spin: so you make sure you do, and listen to me because i,m the more mature, :loco: once you got through the spots and homework, and thinkin your dead hard in front of your mates, well then you can do what you want without explinations to your parents :hotjump: and rock all night :hotjump: cool hey :hotjump: there thats positive for you :) :wave:

The homework isn't really bothering me and I can party all night long in the weekends if I want to (but I don't). I just hope it get's better or I'll end up like this:

Rafael, it does get better, with all the wisdom. I was just a whiner when I was in my teens, hypochondriac and that, always afraid of things. That gradually disappeared (yeah, real diseases came instead, haha). Nay, I mean I feel much happier and content now, and Dear Susie is right. And I feel much more love in my heart, for my fellow human beings. (This sounds shitty, I know, but it's true :D).

And hey, men, what's wrong with you?

Oh, and when you get older, you realize you don't have to have dreams to be happy.
Nothing's wrong with me (that I know of). Just sick of it all...

and I hope you're right. The only reason why I'm awake is that I have to go to school and my body can't sleep 24/7.

Great.... so far 'wisdom' is the key word.

You seem to have the life I dream of... consider yourself special ;)

It's almost if I know what you mean, so your advice is not take the crap from girls?

no, it's just a thing you can't help... in every relationship you will sooner or later have your drawbacks, your misunderstandings and so on, be it your girlfriend, your mother or your dog. so if you start a new relationship you'll probably try to do better, which is of course a nice thing to do, but might as well lead to the point that you are more cautious than you used to be, and that's a thing i really miss when getting older. it's just the way it is, you can't help it, and still it annoys me. i want to be naive and silly again :) want to be experimental. so do that while you got the chance :)

Yeah, i'll agree with that :Spin:
