I'm going to call upon Britney to help get my message across, because I feel like she said it best:
I'm not a girl, not yet a woman.
If you're old enough to know how to navigate your internet browser, you're old enough to recognize that song. As much criticism as she got for it (so what are you then? yadda yadda), it makes perfect sense to me.
I'm in my third year of college and hardly consider myself a child. Truth be told, I'm not ready to take on the role of a full grown adult yet either. There's a certain view of the world that I still have that I am fearful everyday of losing.
I'm skeptical. I'm compassionate. I'm uncensored and untamed. I don't have any of the answers but ask questions every day. And that's what I'm afraid of losing with every day I age: the opportunity to explore the possibilities and continue developing any and all views of this little blue planet and all of us creepy crawlers on it.
I want my naivety to flourish in this middle age that I am living.
Not a girl. Not yet a woman.
Catch my drift?
