Life of Pause

Highschool is when you find yourself taking a second job in the slavery trade otherwise known as waitressing, when you have been working in high-tech for some time now.

Adulthood seems to be knowing that you're doing this because you need to get out of here, of this. You need to sign a waiver on your pride, to ignore the fact that those bossing you around have an IQ lower than the common insect's. It's having to smile when you are serving fancyass schmucks who also work in high-tech, but who have never had to wait tables in their life.

Highschool is finding yourself in the arms of your ex-best friend's legendary ex-boyfriend, and he's confessing that he's was hot for you when you were seventeen. Highschool is being really thankful that you and her are no longer on speaking terms, because let's face it, you fantasized about him when they were an item and you kinda always hoped this ridiculous scenario would take place. Highschool is to still think about her while he's kissing you.

Adulthood would be knowing that not everything that glittered at seventeen is still gold at 23. It's knowing that sure, he is probably a blessing in bed, but there's the future to think of. There's the fact that you come from insanely different backgrounds and cultures, for one. There's the fact that he's a musician, which is somehing you swore you wouldn't do again, not this time.

There's the fact that he doesn't have any of those things girls approaching their mid twenties seem to look for, because these things are after all the foundation for The Future that everyone seems to be so worried about.

Highschool is to go for it anyway, and enjoy every second. But what the fuck do I know, I am now but a simple waitress.
