A Different Drummer


Late but better than never

Happy Birthday Thea.... :)

My internet access has been practically non-existant here, but I had enough time just now to read Thea's awesome post on turning 25. Being a great writer is often about being able to write so freely and truly about how you feel that you can reveal underlying truths about everybody - and her "turning 25" post is just wonderful. This seems just exactly on the money....

"25 is a weird age..... You feel too old to hang out with people 21 down, and too young to hangout with people 30 above, however you feel psychologically torn between wanting to be young again and thus act 21 down and be old an mature and act 30 above..... when you're 25 you have a sort of double personality..... or rather that is how I'm feeling at this point in time.... I want to hang out with my work colleagues, join in the high profile intelligent conversations and enjoy drinks such as rum, brandy and whisky and on the other hand I also want to be able to go to pubs stuff myself with pints of beer, dance like I'm alone and perform acts of drunken foolishness ......"

Just awesome. Anybody else feeling that way about this age? I sure am....

    I'll be 25 in two and a half months and have been feeling like that since turning 24 already. Wonder how this will continue...definetely a great post. 25 is going to be comforting (you feel a lot wiser, as silly as that sounds) and freaking scary at the same time.

    That's true Tom, but 24 is much worse, because you know when you'll get 25 you'll be feeling so...anyway, i was trying to convince myself that i've not got this problem as i've got a babyface, till one day i was going to party with some friends here in ArnhemLAND, when the bouncer of the club let everybody in and told me "sorry sir, but this party is for students ONLY"
