We're getting older and turning into A-holes. Get used to it

We're always going to hate people younger than us.

Everyone has had their fair share of ripping into those people who are 3+ years younger. It's in your blood. You know you are that pissed when you put your heart and soul into your argument and start referring to these people as kids, even though they aren't that much younger. I'm guilty of doing it, but i'm sure those group of people are going to do the same in a few more years. It's a neverending cycle that we acknowledge.

You will constantly look at those people and go on a diatribe about how you were never like that or how you started and brought in what they're enjoying right now.

You want that sense of knowing that these people are the product of your awesomeness but in no way do you want them to be your comrades. It's about who did it first and who did it better.

A group of teenagers in front of me in the tunnel are too busy taking pictures, burning each other with lame insults, exchanging inside jokes and having way too much fun on a Thursday afternoon. Instantly I hated them. Not for the good reason that they were walking slower and in my way and I had only 3 minutes to catch a train and it's a solid 10 minute walk. I was mad at that, sure, but I twisted it to a point where I came to the conclusion that I wanted to stab everyone that belonged to that particular age group. They had gotten over that hump called the HSC, which seems like a big deal but when you finish it you don't give two shits about it. It's kind of like an M. Night Shyamalan movie. "Yeah, i've done it, big deal. It's nothing. I know more than you moron children. " Is roughly what I had running through my mind. Thinking about it now, I was exactly the same way when I finished my HSC. Possibly more shittier and irritating rocking the years worst haircut.

Why I decided to secretly pick on them instead of excusing myself between them to get my train is beyond me.


Let's embrace this shitty little thing and move on.
