I think looking back to when I was younger I had certain expectations of the older me. I simply assumed I would wake up and find myself competent in certain things, though I'd made no effort to become good in them, nor had any inclination to them. Like people. I'm not good with people. This isn't so surprising: spend most every night on the internet for ten years, and what do you think's going to happen? You're going to be a social butterfly once you hit a certain age? I don't mean that I ever expected to wake up and find myself a different person. It's rather than I saw certain ages as milestones by which I'd have achieved certain things. Li
