Things begin to make sense...

When you're 8 years old.. and when you're 18, things and people, become two different objects of consideration. There are thing that matter for example, people, and things that don't matter, example, people we don't like and other inane objects.
Everything has a whole new meaning. At 8, 'Love' means, the perfect Ken doll for Barbie, or Cinderella and Prince Charming... courtesy Disney movies.  At 18, well 'love' means being with the person who makes you feel you want to be with him/her for all eternity (Thank you to Vampire theories, the concept of death has been stretched to eternity). Well any ways, either that or the feeling you get when the songs begin to make sense so much more than they used to. This feeling can occur much before the age of 18, but it gets stronger I think.
A heartache or heartbreak earlier could mean finding out that Santa Claus isn't a real person, a real heartbreak for 7 year olds. It now translates into finding out that your favourite footballer is married and has a 2 year old daughter. My friend had a breakdown when she did a background check on KaKa. The teachers could feel she wasn't being her chirpy - all - smiling self. It could also mean that the your size of clothes or shoes isn't available at the store.
However, now that we have extensive access to internet, people find things having different sense or nonsense of a concept, much earlier. I'm no cynical - doesn't - believe - in - love - pessimistic person. I just find it difficult being hopelessly romantic (at times).
When you turn 18, and turn to Disney movies or Tom and Jerry, you are either under a lot of stress or you are not willing to let go of your inner child. A way of escaping into another life or a different world altogether. That's what most psychologists and anthropologists say. But, optimistically, if you are an ardent fan of such 'childish escapes' you are still open to an 'Ever Ever After' to your story or angle at life.
Well, before I forget to mention, heartbreak can also mean that you find out the person you had a crush on is in a relationship with your new friend. It's hard, believe me. The look on the face of a person who has gone through it says it all.
When you try to tell a child something that they believe, really believe with all their heart and soul, is right, and you know it's not, you are up for a debate. They might just accept it as well, depending on their upbringing. Well, later on in life, 'defensive' gets a whole new meaning. You try telling something like that to an adult and they may say 'Yah, maybe you're right', or argue a little (politely) if they have more info on the topic (read ammunition) but the next time you meet them, they will have been in enough number of get - togethers and parties and collected information to somehow land on a similar topic and have you 'All - Out'. If you get too - defensive, they just say, 'you're being a kid'. So there goes another term with a whole new meaning.

Celebrations meant birthdays and holidays. They still mean that and a lot of other 'things'. People celebrate death like life, when a friend passes away. Drink and Party. He/ She would like to remember us like lively people and celebrate rather than mourn. Tell that to your grandparents they will either call it 'Generation Gap of Understanding' or say 'things have changed way fast and that's how the world is now'. But what we think is what matters most. What a name or thing means to us. A sunlflower can be a flower in a garden, or a sweet reminder of your mother who loved those flowers and is now smelling its sweet scent in the heavens above. Plastic flowers can mean well, plastic, or they say that the person was on a tight budget, and found you a way of remembering him (cheaper than diamond that last forever). They last for a million years and don't shrivel and die. There is always an 'optimistic' and 'pessimistic' way of looking at things and the saying about a glass being half full / empty needs no reminder. However you, yourself, and only you can define what things matter to you and how they appear, 'optimistic' or 'pessimistic', and if you don't like Disney movies and find such 'things' absolute rubbish don't count on yourself as a granpy (grandfather / grandmother) and for vice versa, don't think you're being a child. I like them. All of them. So I don't really care what one person or another defines them to me as long as what I feel, (pls. go with me on this one as, 'what is not totally bizzare and completely wild - basically not a crime against humanity... it's all good) it makes sense to me, my thing, doing it makes sense to me, I'm all good. Maybe playing loud music isn't good for the ears bbut then again Opera may not really me soothing for some.

Thins make sense when we want to accept the reality of the situation. Life may not make sense, but accepting the fact that all is not right and there is room for improvement, hat is where you say, it may not make sense to me right now, but i can make it better so that it does.

 Also don't think too much about life.... it will get more confusing.. sometimes it's good to let things go on their own accord.... I hope this made sense to you

Until next time.. Cheers :)
