A thought about growing older
I was just wondering about patronization. Since I've gotten to college, I've gone on several trips with various 21-25 year olds. Being 18-19 for these past two years, I've been subject to some rather demeaning patronization, which I could truly care less about, honestly.
My ponderance is, when does that stop? I mean, my mother who is 40 looks at those 25-year olds as children who see me as a "young-un"
Does this ever stop? Does a 70 year old complain to a 90 year old to have the 90 year old say "Don't worry, you'll understand when you're older" or what?
It's just confusing and almost promising that it never stops, that you'll never truly reach the pinnacle of age above others until you're dead or too old to care (which is really ironic to a young person like me).
What do you think?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
