When you're in your teens and first starting out with your hormones kicking in and learning about painful crushes and having your parents and education system dupe you into thinking your future's gonna be a shiny, platinum-paved highway where opportunities are endless and you'll never have to doubt what's your next move's gonna be, you're probably not gonna like someone telling you that all these illusions will one day go down the way of Santa and the tooth fairy.
We're a quarter century old this year, and though we acknowledge that's pretty darned young by anyone's standards, we're just not that young anymore. Responsibilities start kicking in and suddenly the meaning of consequences makes itself known to you. In short, it sucks.
Isn't it funny how at 15 the world seems brimming with infinite possibilities but there are so many things you can't do, you have to wait till you're older, etc., then you're 18 and for 2 or 3 glorious years it seems you're doing all the stuff you wanted to do without payback, then you get past that and the world clamps down on you again, only this time you're expected to be adult about it.
Are we where we wanna be at this point in our lives? Well, Tiff's got a high-paying job which she's about to say adios to because she hates it. Toni, on the other hand, is swimming in a quagmire of endless responsibilities but well on her way of getting to do the stuff she really wants to do. The answer? We don't know. Do you?
Totally Truly,
Toni and Tiffani
