A thought about growing older

I'm 17, so:
- I get asked for id when buying games and such, I look too young
- no one believes that I attend University
- early last year around when I recently turned 17, I got a kid's menu at chili's (WTH!? I was offended!)
- no one would think that I'm driving age already
- people think I'm too young to be working (probably why I can't find any jobs, despite all the experience on my resume *rolls eyes*), there are a handful of people at almost every job I've had that think I'm not old enough and tell me straight up or indirectly.
- etc.

Point being I'm not exactly 20s-wise at all, but I'm rather handicapped by appearance when people have to look at my age. I'm young to EVERYone; even my friends (I'm at least one or two years younger than all of them). I believe that I am obviously in the process of growing older but my environment thinks otherwise.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Colouring outside the lines is fun.

Well I patronize my friends as well. I like to say "hello little boy" or "how are you child?" just to see what kind of reaction I get, which is usually a spaz out and a very confused look or reply. So it all works out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
