Being young

I love being young (when I say that I actually mean being a kid!). I know some people are saying that I'm not a kid now I'm 18, but I have to disagree! I think that you are as young as you act or feel.

It annoys me when people say how you have to start being responsible when you turn 18. I mean who decided that as soon as you turn 18 you're an adult? In America you can't drink alcohol until you're 21 so does that mean that in the USA you're not an adult at 18? It's just society who model how you should be at a certain age. Surely you should just be how you feel comfortable being?

Tonight I went to youth homegroup and we just played loads of games. Unfortunately I think sometimes I can get a bit too competitive e.g. tending to scream and hate being in a losing team. However, tonight I didn't scream- that much.

I'm going swimming tomorrow and I played tennis today- I like sounding as though I'm really active and sporty. Really the only 'exercise' I do a week is going to dance once a week. I've never been to a gym before- why pay to go on a running machine when you could go for a run in the park. I'd much rather play a sport to keep fit, much more fun.
