>Never knew or cared about what I'd be when I grew up
>Just did as I was told to have a quiet life
>Hit puberty
>Suddenly become aware of the absurdity of the position I find myself in, being alive
>Read a lot over the next 15 years
>Talk to many people and discover a lot about the world
>Always spend a lot of time on introspection
I still feel life is absurd, I feel no more knowledgeable about my position or confident about my place or purpose in the world. If you put me in front of my 12 year old self, I'd have nothing to say to him. Nothing changed.
