Two Decades, Two Years, and a Day

Well, another year has gone by, and I find myself wondering when the 'grown up epiphany' is going to come around. When I was a wee tot, I remember looking at the 20-somethings in my life and wondering, I wonder what that feels like, the be so aware of the world... And now that I'm here, I realize I was quite deluded, or at the very least, 20-somethings in the 90's knew more about the world than 20-somethings in the current century. The more I ponder, I also realize that 'knowledge' is kind of subjective. I've been told that I 'have my shit together' more than anyone my age... and yet, I don't think I would agree with that. Granted, I will openly admit that I don't really associate with my generation because they are absolutely clueless [generalization], but I wouldn't venture that I'm all that awesome... When I look at my mother, my grandparents, the previous generations, they seem to have such an amazing sense of the world... and I'm jealous. Perhaps it comes with parenting? Or maybe I just need to wait another 20 years. Oh well. For now, I'm perfectly content gliding along, almost completely oblivious.
