blather
last_day_of_a_teenager
the girl formerly known as IGG I turn 20 tomorrow, making this the last day of my teenage years. I'm sat in the shaft of sunshine searing through the partially open curtains cradling a brew and a cig and wondering what the hell is going on with my life, that it's going all to pot.
Quite literally a lot of the time, hmm.

Anyway it has been a time of soulsearching recently, and somehow it seems that many of the things that have happened in the last year have been truly negative. So on my last teenage day I'm back to blather, which I found on a chilly December day in 2003. Good old blather, I hope you're still here when I'm 30.

spoken i do believe i enjoyed being a teenager
the edge of seventeen
so full of my own thoughts
the begining of my self exploration
a point where i truly started to learn my own mind and get a better understanding of who i am and who i want to be
i'm trying still to reconcile the two ten years later
it's a slow going journey

now most of the time i conciously alter my actions to fit my mental imagery of an ideal self
but at others i just am

in the moment pure thoughtless motion
what ever happens happens

at 17 i was raw emotion unrepentant for my expressions i do believe i miss that

danny gosh spoken. I don't think I started to accept or learn my own mind properly until I was 27 or 28. That's why humans live long. A horse can figure itself out as soon as it gets up on its silly long legs. We're slow monkeys.

And Leonard Cohen didn't know start as singer until he was in his 30s.

spoken I don't believe I had it all figured out just that I was closer to a true me then I believe I am now. As a teenager. I just did not censor myself much, I did whatever I pleased with out over thinking things. If I thought it I said it If I wanted it I found a way to get it. I feel with age and so called wisdom I have drifted slightly from my full self. Sort of like I muddle my colors to blend in with the world sometimes rather then standing firmly in my bright neon and saying Fuck off I am who I am but I guess that is a bit of my Libra side whom is determined to seek balance and peace at war with my personal nature of wanting to rock the boat and drum my own rhythm. 120425
