I would like to say I was a normal kid, living a normal life, having normal dreams, desires, and goals; I'd like to think the choices and decisions I made were all normal; I'm not sure I know what normal was; I'm not sure I know what normal is. One thing I do know, it is normal to have an awkward time in life, a time when you are between kid and adult. I can remember the time just before that was supposed to “officially” start for me, which is a funny statement to make; at the time I did not believe I fit the description of an adolescent, so I figured I was not yet officially in that in-between point of my life; thinking about it now, I wonder if perhaps I was there and just didn't recognize it.
There is a great many things about my adolescence I can't remember off-hand, and I figure that is a good thing. One thing I do remember though is a clear and distinct decision to become mature: I willingly chose to grow up. I'm sure it's fairly normal for every kid to want to grow up, and in that light this decision of mine doesn't seem all that significant. Strangely I found myself thinking about maturity some time ago and I realized something: I haven't stopped trying to grow up.
