I was a bit hesitant about putting it up because it was all a bit stream of consciousness, but then I thought 'bugger it.'<BR/><BR/>I agree with what you say, Miss T, about what you're supposed to be like aged 30; who says we need to act or be a certain way just because a number dictates it? I read a great quote from the actor Brent Spiner who said that he thought the best actors were children in a playground because they throw themselves into the role of, say, a power ranger or Superman without thinking about what other people think of them.<BR/><BR/>I think maybe we should all try to do something rather childlike every now and then. And I don't mean wear nappies and crap ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Inexplicable Device - you witter on as much as you like - it is, after all, our time! <BR/><BR/>And isn't inexorable a great word?

Uniqueness is what makes you cringe as a teenager, but stand out from the crowd as an adult. <BR/><BR/>I think inexorable is a great way to describe things, actually.

I have so much that I could say but I'd end up wittering, so I'll say this: It will always be your, or my, or their time. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps passing - no, sidestepping 30, after all I'm twentyeleven - has taught me that some things are inexorable (I just wanted to use the word - I don't if it fits). Except losing our uniqueness.

I think it's the age, you know? Almost 30... and there's a bit of a mental barrier there. Almost 30 year olds are supposed to be like this, this and this. But that's just bullshit pressure that no one needs. <BR/><BR/>You've obviously got a lot to be proud of, you've achieved a quite a bit at an early age. But there's always going to be some younger person somewhere with either something to prove or an axe to grind. <BR/><BR/>I guess it's finding that balance between laughing at the malarkey and accepting a new phase. <BR/><BR/>I agree though, inflexibility is the highest form of arrogance. The minute you think that there's nothing more you can learn on a subject/life, that's the moment you do become irrelevant. <BR/><BR/>And sometimes you just gotta say:<BR/> <BR/>FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Miss Smuggershamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206572373676151684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24004556.post-1160265261509186442006-10-08T00:54:00.000+01:002006-10-08T00:54:00.000+01:00First!I really really liked this post.
