Back home

[titanproject2010]

Hey guys, Jade here. I can't really be bothered with hiding private information anymore, one hack too many has taught me that if someone wants your details, chances are, they'll get them. Oh, but anyway...
When I was last connected (before the big blow up that left me looking like a dumbass), I was living in Uruguay. I think. Maybe it was Chile, but I'm pretty sure it was Uruguay.
Well, about 4 months ago, I returned back to my home country, now 17 but looking 20. And it's been pretty interesting...
I've driven past my old houses and what not, seen the old sights, and I continue to be amazed by how much has changed in 3 years. It's pretty calm and peaceful, with the occasional night where I get high. But something is wrong.
I consider my exploits in Chile to be my days of mental maturation. I worked, paid taxes, went out to clubs (which is illegal, coz I had to be 18. But don't tell anyone!) and got smashed very often, had serious relationships (if any Chilean chicks ask how old I am, it's 19, alright?), etc, etc, I'm not going to bore you with my personal life any longer.
My prob is this: how the f**k do I fit in with kids my age, and more importantly, why should I? I mean, most of my mates have been 20-40 year olds of both genders, so how do I connect with testosterone-pumped boys, and ridiculously hysterical girls? This isn't me stereotyping, this is actually the selection of teenagers that I have here. I've had to mature pretty quickly over the last couple of years, seeming as I wasn't hanging out with people my age, and that maturity right now is turning me off of hanging with teens. My older mates have said to me,
"when you get back to New Zealand, hang out with kids your age, enjoy your last chance to be a teenager." Whatever that means...
Question is, how do I go about that? Any advice? Am I winging? Do I need a slap? Hmm, a slap...

I feel that the way to enjoy your last chance to be a teenager is to simply spend your free time how you wish. You don't have to hang out with kids in order to be a teenager. The essence of being a teen is simply enjoying your free time the way that most appeals to you.

Ahhh, but isn't enjoying life how we wish what we do everyday of our lives, not just our teenaged years? Lol, I got what you mean, thanks for that, I didn't really think from that perspective.

I was always more mature than my peers. The answer is: Don't hang out with them. Alternatively, find the few who you *click* with, and hang with them. There's not much of a point in dumbing yourself down if you don't feel comfortable.

Sweet as, I guess I'll keep chilling with my uncle, he always has a good stash of ****. Hehe, try and decode that one...

Just don't hang out in clubs.

Hang out with your mom.

you don't remember what country you lived in?

hmm, been a while since I had access to internet...I do remember what countries (plural) I've lived in, I can count them on one hand and a finger, I just have troubles placing events to certain places. In the end, who cares...Oh, and my mum I can't hang out with. As cool as she is, she's in another country. Still, thank for the advice. Kinda wish I had taken yours this saturday gone, FR, would've saved me a world of trouble.
