Hey... Its nice to get a mature comment in here from time to time.
Its nice to grow n mature as time goes by, but I do find myself missing the starry eyed romanticism that was so much a part of my waking and sleeping back then. Disillusionment has come faster than it should have. 
I guess that in times like these, there is nothing better to do than 'to keep calm and carry on'

So, ...ru British?

I try. The "It's great!" is kind of...eh. And sort of secretly milking deviants on here to maybe comment on my work....but no pressure. Really, I don't care about that. 

Can't say I had a great youth. It was mostly stress and more stress on top of that. However, I suppose I did live in a disillusionment that things would get better after college. Woah and behold, they did not. What I learned was that lack of stress/happiness mostly comes from attitude, not our circumstances. But the ignorance of youth, sometimes I think we all crave it too. 

Haha, no. Visited England twice and Wales once. Have 2 friends there and have seen quite a few BBC shows. A bit aware of differences culture, but other than that...I'm very American.

... I did go over to your page and then I was about to read, then I got called off for something. Actually I'm without my own internet connection for the last one yr. The last service provider overbilled me n I snubbed them off. Never got around to getting another one. Internet in the state I stay in is pretty costly too, compared to my own hometown.
So once I get my internet, which should be next month.. gimme a shout. I'll be happy to provide some insight.

You are so bang on right! It's the attitude. And someone sent me a picture text the other day which I really loved and agree with: The older I grow, the less I care about what people think of me; therefore the older I grow the more I enjoy life.

But yes, the ignorance of youth is a romantic thing. All of poesy stems from it, or from the shattering of it.

Awww, that sucks. Not having an internet connection - I think I might not make it very long. Not that I'm admitting to Internet addiction, but maybe I am. Otherwise, maybe it's karma you weren't able to read my page. I haven't been on DA in over a month.

Seems like internet is pretty expensive wherever you go. In my old state, I damn near cried and it was all the providers I hated. Where I am now isn't much better, but then I had to be the stereotyped millennial and move back home, so the parental figures are paying for it...

I really, really like that quote. I work with a bunch of older ladies and they reflect that so much. I swear my manager dances and sings around the place enough for all of us (there's 5 of us.)

Although, I might not say all of poesy. Being a Christian, I can't help but think of the Psalms...as they are so much love poems to God and as I grow to know God's character more and more and how very fond of me he is, I continue to grow in understanding of those love poems.

I get it. I wrote some of such poems myself. One or two of them are rather good, if I may say so myself.
