Sorry, I'm A Stanger Here Myself

[poliphilo]

When I was a kid I used to wonder what it was like to go into a pub and order a drink. And I used to worry that, when my time came, I'd do it wrong and be found out

I've always felt like I was bluffing my way through life. Like I'd missed out on some absolutely vital briefing session.

Keep your head down, imitate the natives, don't do anything to give yourself away.

a was a precocious (and pretentious) child. i remember being absolutely certain that i was way more sophisticated than other children. i remember being very comfortable in the company of adults, of holding my own in any number of very adult situations. i was so smug.

now that i really am an adult... i feel lost much of the time.
