viruxx Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Found this blog post earlier after scouring Inktober's website and thought it was worth sharing. I know somewhere around here this topic was briefly discussed when the issue of age and getting older came up.

I know somewhere around here this topic was briefly discussed when the issue of age and getting older came up. On acting your age by Jake Parker That's a good blog post. I think in that transition period between your final years at school and first years out at work there is a pressure to show that you have grown up and no longer have an interest in the things you liked when you were younger. I know that in my case during that period if I'd admitted that I still liked and watched Thunderbirds and Stingray it would have totally destroyed any street cred I might have had and made me the butt of many jibes and jokes. Later on in life I no longer cared what people thought of my choice of entertainment, to the point that at one time I happily wore a tie featuring Thunderbird 2 to work. These days I remember this quote from C.S.Lewis. “When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days I remember this quote from C.S.Lewis. “When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” When you put it like that, yes. There is this sort of pressure, or unspoken expectation, that you should have cast aside mostly everything that you were into as a child/teen when you go out into the "real world." God forbid, as an adult trying to get into the work force, you let it be known you still watch cartoons or play video games, or even attempt to draw such things on rare occasion. I'm getting to the age where I care less and less what others think about me and what my interests are, but I still find myself playing a lot of cards close to my chest. Maybe within a few more years and with a lot more obligations met, the care factor will drop drastically. When you're in business, and you owe things, you kind of have no choice but to act the part until those debts are eliminated. After that, all bets are off. If I can get to that point, maybe I can take my exit from this and walk away from it with something in tow. Until then, I'll just keep "low-key" not caring. And as a sucker for great quotes, I thank you for sharing that one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've generally found that as I've got older my peer group are more accepting of people's different interests and hobbies even if they're not interested in them or regard them as a load of rubbish but I still find it better to be careful who I share my interests with because deep down we all care, if only a very little bit, about how other people think of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
