wasn't as big of a problem for my generation random thoughts Send a noteboard - 15/02/2010 02:51:56 PM
did people stop telling you how wonderful you were and what great potential you had and stop caring if you weren't living up to it?

I just noticed it myself.

People used to tell me how wonderful I was all the time and then I guess I was about 25 or so when it stopped. I started getting all frantic about not getting enough attention and stuff. I'm sure some of you remember. :P

Anyway... it just struck me what might have brought on the change and I was wondering if anyone else experienced the same sort of thing...


People start expecting more from you as you get older and are less willing to accept excuses. Of course when I was growing up people did spend the same amount of time kids they were they were amazing and they spent almost no time applauding our failures.

So when exactly:


July the 22nd 1985:D at MCRD San Diego

Did that happen to you?


I got married and stated a family fairly early so I was expected to grow up fast. I don't recall a particular incident were I finally noticed it all changed.

Did you lose your virginity?


no I gave it away

Did you fall in love?


more then once

Did you break someone's heart?


don't we all

Did you realize how much you didn't know?


happens all the times

Did you realize you had to start over?


you never get to start over you can only change course

Did you lose your way?


don't we all

Did you abandon your past?


nope

Did you stop looking forward and start looking back?


try not to

Did you lose your first love?


yep

Did you give up?


I have to many people depending on me to have the option of giving up.
