Sex & Shenanigans

When I turned 18 I thought, this is it, I'm no longer a child. I'm an adult! And now I will do adult things!
When I turned 20 I thought, this is it, I've put this whole adulting thing on pause, but now! Now I'll do adult things.
When I turned 25, my tune didn't change. Nor did my mind. Or my life.

But then I turned 30, and I thought to myself, this is it, I'm no longer striving to be an adult. I'm just me. And that's fine.

The party was good, nothing extraordinary happened, just fun with my nearest and dearest, but I so vividly remember that realization that, fuck it, I don't need to strive for some childish ideal of adulthood.

I'll just do as I've always done. 💕

"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
--C.S. Lewis.
 
Ok here’s a game … tell me something you like that is traditionally disliked.

Some kind of food.. a show.. a song.. a movie..

Whatever.



But don’t just tell me … convince me WHY I should like it too.

Make a case for it.

Probably very niche, but I always liked Communion wafers at church. They have a nice texture, I was always starving by the time we got to them, and it meant the end of mass and time for breakfast!

Not Catholic, so I have never been allowed to have wafers, even when attending Mass (I like it when they perform it in Latin).
 
Let's see... It wants access to my camera, my flashlight, and storage. Makes sense. Also my full contact list, all GPS data, the power system (allowing it to turn on and off the phone), unfettered Internet access. Also access to every app running on my phone, and all of their data and access. Which means if you run a banking app on your phone (and you should never, but that is another conversation), you give Tiktok access to all of your banking information and accesses. But they say they never do that, they promise. They could, but they cross their hearts that they won't ever do that.







No.
