24 before 24
Monday, October 8, 2007I have exactly 24 hours before I officially lose the right to broadcast that I'm 23 years old (that is as long as legal documents are concerned.. hehehe… :p)
I don't know what it is exactly about growing up that I fear most. I feel like I should be experiencing this the moment I hit my 30s but, naaaah, it's actually happening now. A very good friend of mine once told me that it probably has to do with my faith (or maybe lack of) but as far as I know, I've kept my end of the bargain. So why this?
I've been said to have Peter Pan Syndrome. Although accepted only in Pop-Psychology (yes, it's not really recognized by the American Psychiatric Association), there are certain truths to it. Here's a bit about PPS that I got from Wikipedia:
The Peter-Pan psychological type is one characterized by immaturity or certain sorts of psychological, social, and sexual problems. The type of personality in question, usually male, is immature and narcissistic. More completely, according to Kiley, the characteristics of a "Peter-Pan" include such attributes as irresponsibility, rebelliousness, pottering about, anger, narcissism, dependency, manipulativeness, and the belief that he is beyond society's laws and norms.
Now, is that me or what?! Oh well, it's just a theory after all. I don't know. Maybe I'll grow out of it, maybe I won't. I still have a few years ahead of me. Right now, I just want to go out and play. 
Meticulous to the bone paying attention to the nitty-gritty details of anything (or anyone) that piques his interest. He's terribly O.C. when he feels like it and other times he just leaves the mess as it is.
