Giving In :( Haha




So, I like to think of my writing style as something casual, something people can read almost as if they are having a simple conversation with me. As many of my followers and classmates have pointed out I tended to shy away from using proper grammar in my blog, and today I am officially making the transition to proper grammar, per request of many who reviewed my blog.I will even edit some previous posts to bring them up to the grammar code that is drilled into our tiny heads as grade school students.
This brings me to my topic for the day which is the idea of growing up, the fact that last week ws my birthday and I turned a whopping 23 years of age. It finally seems to be hitting me that my days of being a young kid are over, when it comes to reality. I have a simple philosophy that I live by and that is just to be happy, don't let people bring you down. It's important to realize that everyday you live can't be an amazing day. Everyday you wake up can't be a beautiful warm sunny day. People don't realize that you need crappy rainy days, and cold winter nights, so that those beautiful warm days are like paradise to us. Moving forward it's weird to move onto a totally new stage of your life, and whether you want to admit it or not, you tend to leave part of your last stage behind, not everyone and everything can make that transition. I, however, am going to make sure some things stay with me for as long as possible, my best friends from grade school I still am in constant contact with, despite being hundreds of miles away and only seeing each other a few times a year. I also am going to make sure I don't lose my childlike personality and idea of just being happy. One of my good friends has a great quote that we constantly say, "being mature is over-rated." I know, I know, kind of childish but I really do believe the happiest people I know that are adults, really show an immature side to them, now I'm not saying to make fart jokes in the middle of a business meeting, or anything of that nature.
I do think that men especially need sometime to just let loose and be "a kid" again, whether its playing paintball, or going out drinking like you're in college again, no matter how awful you might feel the next day. I really believe that this type of behavior is necessary for men to stay stress free and on top of everything else in their lives. I've met a lot of successful businessmen and a large majority of them seem absolutely miserable, despite being very successful, I guarantee these guys have been acting "proper" and 100% mature for decades and it really an show. Now everything I'm saying here has no scientific support, or any support at all for that matter, but it is simply something I've noticed. You might think, "why the hell would I listen to this guys crazy observations about life?" I mean you don't have to, this is all something I am simply just throwing out there, but just because you might not agree with me, doesn't mean I'm not right.
