When you are an adult, you spend a lot of time pretending to be a grown up. You’re not really.

Everyone is still about 14. You just pretend you’re not. You drink beer, you talk about sex, you swear, you buy a house, you have kids, you get a job… you do everything you can to prove how grown up and adult and important you are. But really, really, you’re not.

You’ve no bloody idea how to live your life. You’re just doing what everyone else does in the hopes that you’re somehow doing it right. Shoring yourself up against the real world. The world that was cruel and terrible and took everything away.
