Twenty

The teenage years are behind me as of yesterday, and if ever I had ambivalence dominating my thoughts, this is it. And it’s not only because I recently became privy to the knowledge that adolescence in many people does not end until they are going on 22, and I am desperate not to fall under that category of people. Of course I’m elated that the suffix ‘teen’ has been discarded from my age. Even though there are those whoho insist on going with ‘twenteen’ just to spite me.
