i feel the same, maybe for different reasons. it feels like lately, everything around me is changing, like maturing. all of this is happening without any interference on my end. i'm just living my life, but it's like, my mom is growing to be a grandma, my sister has finally graduated from college, my old friends are becoming adults, the immigration and development is changing my environment, and here i am just trying to make sense of all this change happening so quickly. it's all so hyper fast, like as though it's a forced push into becoming something new, but i just don't see what's wrong with living the way i do.
i just want things to be slow, for things to take their time. it's like all this striving towards something, that takes you out of any appreciation for the present. i don't understand it. it's almost like a dissociation from one's self, like you don't really want to let others, or even yourself know who you are, so you find identity within these arbitrary cultural concepts of maturity. maybe the majority of people just don't see things this way though, and are trying their best to navigate their own confusing lives.
if anything, it gives me an even better reason to make sure to take it slow and sniff the roses and carnations and catnip bushes all along the way because life's already too quick.
