I wonder...if indifference aka NOT CARING as much about things is a sign of improvement (aka growing up, maturity) or a sign of regression (aka lack of compassion, kindness). Could it be both? It's very possible I suppose, but then again.... =.= Who am I to say what is a part of growing up when I'm still in the process of discovering my own self. Cue the long, exasperated sigh, and just to be fancy...cue the long, exasperated le sigh.
Sidenote: Yes...still a dork. I'm pretty sure that's one thing that I won't grow out of.
Perhaps...it's not growing up, or becoming immature. Maybe it's just something that I'm becoming. It's not good or bad...maybe it's just different. Well....I guess it's just something that's different....it's not like I really have anybody to ask about it who'll give me the answers to everything. Sometimes...I wish that everything was rather simple, but of course...simplicity is out of reach for someone with a background so utterly complicated, let alone one who thinks too much. Speaking of which...I'm trying to teach myself to reduce that, but it's rather difficult. =.=
I hope that growing up doesn't mean being colder towards the world, maybe getting a thicker skin...but is that the same thing? It..kind of seems like it to a degree. Le sigh. Mutters. Trying to reduce thinking too much...not really off to a good start..am I? Nervous laugh. ^^'' Heh..heh....heeeeeh......@^@
Hrm. Well...ate Pho today and had Starbucks for the first in a super long time, but I had hot Black Tea..sooo no coffee for me. =) Haha...Thought I caved? Nopes! ^^
UPDATE: (same day..it's 1:52AM right now...yes...I shall get my butt cheeks to sleep once I'm done...I hope.) So I asked my Ge Ge and bah hah jeebies, I am certainly grateful that he's able to put things into words where I can understand because I happen to speak this language that seems to just chase its own tail. Yes...it's been known for me to just run around in circles chasing after my own thoughts...(Obviously, this is just an idiom, but that is quite an amusing image....XD) SO!!! ANYWAYS! (See?! EXHIBIT A!) Yes....indifference is considered a sign of maturity or a sign of regression based on situation. (Aren't most things? That question was actually quite vague now that I ponder upon it...) And the explanation I was given waaaaas:
Situation A: Indifference towards rumors --> sign of maturity
Situation B: Indifference towards your parents in general --> regression
I think..it was pretty straight to the point and cutting out all the (excuse my language, but it's the only way I can get to the point at 2AM...forgives meh) bullshit and just getting to the very core of the answer.
Sidenote: Yes, I'm cussing less now. It's just a rare occurrence.
Teenagers are pretty much known to just cut parents out of the picture. Known to do stupid things, experiment with the real world, think we're the alpha dog and treat everything else like it's irrelevant, besides relationship and friends. Stereotype of course, stereotype, so don't come biting my head off. (Hrm, I seem to be more passionate later at night...perhaps it's because I've shed off most of my terrified layers and just babble.) Hrm, but of course to defend teens. One is simply just exploring the world. And to understand something at its best, you learn by falling hard on your way-too-over-you-head-butt-cheeks (<-play on words?). Maybe you don't fall, but at least you learn from experience or hearing about it. =)
So, point is. Ge Ge has point, and I'm satisfied with the answer that I've been given, so yep. Indeed. Yes..yes..going to sleep now. Kaybye.
