Anyone for Mandy

Or 21 in America, or whatever age you really become a proper adult, legally. At least, as far as I can see it must be because you pretty much spend your entire teenage life building up to being old enough to do all the stuff that you do anyway. But you can do other stuff, because even though you’ve probably already drank and smoked and got into clubs, you can also vote and get married and get into clubs with your own ID, and just say fuck you to people who tell you what you’re doing is wrong, because you’re an adult so you can do all that stuff and nobody can get you into any trouble for doing it. But then once you’ve reached that age, surely it all just starts going downhill because all the things that seemed kind of exciting just become mundane and normal. I’ve been 18 just over 2 months and I’m already sick of having to buy people baccy and booze. And once you’ve reached that age, you’re just getting closer to middle age and the sense of freedom you felt has gone because it’s not freedom, it’s just normality really.
