I’m not in denial of my age, I realize that I’m an adult now and that I’m supposed to be able to take care of myself, be independent and make different choices and decisions, right ones hopefully.
But I also always feel that my parents and people who are their age are far more grown up than I am, which they are, because they are more experienced and have see more of life and people, and have had far more experiences than me; a person mostly half their age.
I recently came to know that grown ups make mistakes. As a kid it never occurred to me that they could, I guess my automatic train of thought was that how could someone that tells me what’s right and what’s wrong be able to do anything wrong. Turns out they can do a lot wrong, far more than imaginable. One other thing that occurred to me recently, by recently I mean two minutes ago, is that gown ups can get depressed and be frustrated just like I could be.
I felt trapped, not physically, just emotional and mental entrapment, hand tied, and that I was screaming to the top of my lungs but I wasn’t really making any sound, no one could hear me.
It gives me comfort, but it also saddens me when I know that there are other people out there who more or less feel the same way.

There is a certain point in one's life where one stops getting wiser with age, there is a limit to how wise you can get, however, the sky is the limit for mistakes, more mistakes and YES depression and frustration. Adults make big mistakes just like children make small ones, our mistakes get bigger as we mature because we should've been wiser and we aren't, so however small, they seem big!!
I can imagine how it feels, it's like even people who you turn to when you're down and feel a sense of security with them around can get depressed and do mistakes! It's like your world is shaking!
Oh boy!
There is no doubt everyone gets depressed, young and old ..
Experience enhaces people's knowledge and understanding of this world until you hit a specific point when you ... exceed thiers ... it's a sad/happy moment.. but it will eventually come
