If you could select one age that you would be forever, what age would that be?
Would it be in the carefree days of youth? The teen years? Being an older adult?
For me it would be the age of 18. It was at this age I was finally able to live the life I had wanted to. I came out when I was 17 in high school, the summer between my junior and senior year in High School. Although I did not get beat up this was back in the years when it was not common for people to come out. I was lucky enough to face much backlash but it was a very uncomfortable situation.
It was not until I entered college that I was free to be you and me. I no longer was the shy and akward teen I had been. I joined groups on campus, was able to take courses I was interested in, and met a whole new collection of friends.
So how about you? What age would you opt for? Why that age?
