Yeah I've had the same experiences.** The whole childhood
   adulthood thing is a myth to me.* It's a big myth; hard to avoid
   it, but a myth just the same. Some people romanticize
   childhood.* I don't think I ever did.* It's hard work, forced
   labor, school sucks, and you only get a few hours a day or on
   the weekends to do what you want. As a kid, I wanted to believe
   that "adults had all the answers".** But teacher after teacher,
   adult after adult, disappointed me.* I never got a great role
   model.* I just had to find the best from different people and
   piece together what I thought,* "A Good Person" would be and try
   to be that good person. I just didn't like being judged by my
   age.* I could've been born in 1997.* Then I'd be 18.* I could've
   been born in 1819.* Then I'd be dead.* I could've been born in
   3928.* Then I wouldn't exist yet. It's why I don't understand
   ageism.* Nobody picked when they were born.* It just happened
   that way.
