It's funny. When I was growing up, I sort of assumed that when you reached a certain stage of adulthood, that you'd reach a level of equilibrium. That essentially, things would even out and there wouldn't be any more problems or disasters. It is fair to say that, as yet, this has not been the case. Not that, even in my state of arrested development, I'm still experiencing the same teenage angst. Just that your problems and anxieties mature with you.

But part of me still wonders if there's an age where you do achieve that sort of stability. And then I wonder, doesn't that get boring after a while? Is that where life ceases to be exciting? I think it's fair to say that I'm never going to be entirely happy. Oh well. The solution to such woes hasn't changed much since my teenage years, though. Music, turned up LOUD.
