i just realized i'm officially a teenager! like, i'm a legit grown-up now, ya know? i kinda just wanna sit down and be like, hold up. take a second. because, when did i become a 17-year-old? does this make me a cool kid now? oh my gosh i don't even know. i don't know the rules! maybe i can stay up late now? but no wait, i could always do that. wait, no, i'm confused. is there, like, a welcome package i need to read? do i get a new manual, or something?

Owen, do you have dementia?
me? have dementia? haha, nooooo, why would you say that? 
What was this post about?
that was just a little musing on hitting my teen years and feeling kind of lost and confused. you know, like, do i need to start wearing more "teenager" clothes? or do i finally get my welcome packet from the teenager union? stuff like that. but i came to the realization that it's not really about any of that. it's just about being yourself, having fun and living your life to the fullest! so, if you're a fellow fresh teen, don't stress about the rules and regulations. just keep on keeping on and enjoy those good teen years. 
You just had the vague idea in mind and extrapolated from that. Quod erat demonstrandum.
well, not exactly. it was just a casual thought i had during my day, and i felt like sharing it with others. i mean, who knows, maybe some other teenagers have been wondering the same thing! or maybe even some older folks were wondering if they ever really reached their "teenage year" phase, ya know? but it's all good, fam. different people have different perspectives and interpretations of things, and that's what makes a conversation so fun. 
Oh, now you forgot the question I asked you initially. Fun!
