Good Thursday morning to you who read this. An exciting day its going to be. Had a little bit of a tough time coming up with todays blog. Didn't know what I wanted to do with it. But, I am sure I know now.
If you are a young teenager or an older teenager you will no doubt experiance something if you have not all ready. Its called driving. No more of your parents driving you around, you can now do it your self or you will in a few years. Ah, that first car. I remember mine. 1981 datsun (Nissan)310 GX. Some friends of mine at the time I had got it said you have to name it. I thought it was sort of foolish to name your vehicle, but i thought about it and before I knew it I was calling it 'The GX'
But I digress. Its a right of passage. We all have it. Doesnt matter how old or how young you are. You are experiancing things that are new to you and thing s that everyone your age goes through. Don't believe me? I'll give you an example: I have a niece who is about 10 months old give or take a few days. She is doing what babies at that age do. Learning to crawl, playing peek-a- boo with her grandmother but not really understanding the concept. You get the gist. A right of passage. How about when you're older? Do you stop having them? No. You become the legal age of your country.
You are offically an adult. No one from this moment on can say' you're too young to do that' Now, depending on your life stile, you go out and have what you consider to be fun. I am not here to judge, nor am I here to tell you how I feel about what ever it is you do. I am not going to do that. What I will say is that you are an adult, do what you choose. Stay safe, how ever.
Motion pictures depict alot of rights of passage. Some good. Some not so good.
The 'American Pie' franchise is one of no ihabition's. Sex, drugs, alcahol. What ever you want.I wouldnt advise doing it that way, but I am just a writer.
Rights of passages with adults. College. Marriage. Kids. The list goes on. Like I had mentioned I think on Monday, when you are a child, you think about what you want to do as an adult. Good part of the time you end up doing it. Right of passage.
I know of alot of people that are advanced in age. Some of them I am related to as I am sure you are as well in your respective familys. Rights of Passages in senior citizens? Absolutley. You work at your job for years. Now, your body is aging.You can retire and enjoy it. Grand children. Possibly even great grand children. You have earned it. Enjoy it.
I want to touch on the teen rights of passages a little more. I recently went to have my drivers licence renewed. I must admit, I didnt think too much about it. First time I didnt pass. Second time, few days later, aced it. I took what you teens (if there are any reading this) take for granted.
If you want the right to drive, you want the "right of passage", study hard for it. it might look easy,but they can find ways to hide what you think you know.
Un fortunetley I can not think of a suggestion for a film that ties in with this topic. Well, maybe "Driving Miss Dasiy" Senior Citizen who in her old age is going through her own right of passage. I recommened seeing it. Best Picture winner. Jessica Tandy is superb as well as Morgan Freeman. If memory serves me correctly, Tandy won "best actress" for the role.
