Some half rambling thoughts because I'm running on not that much sleep, sitting with Robin while I'm trying to get HIM to sleep.
You know that thing where you suddenly
get what the adults in your life were on about half the time? (And I mean, there's a thought too. If I were a real person, I'd have turned twenty this year, but that's another point. Do I call them senior level adults? Advanced adults? I have no idea where this is going...) And you see exactly where they were right about you and some of the crap you've pulled over the years, and you're kind of horribly embarrassed that you ever were that person?
( Read more... ) It's like I suddenly see all this shit from the dad side of things, I guess, and I CAN think and feel, even if I'm not a real person, maybe I don't need to be real to be a person, after all. And I never got to show them that, or tell them I was sorry, and now that I get it...I can't exactly say the words to people that aren't here, you know?
It's scary, this perspective slash maturity thing. Almost as scary as the fact that I don't think we own clothes that aren't covered in drool anymore. As Robin's namesake would say, I'm not too sure I feel the aster of it yet.
