| When I was younger I did not experience adolescence until about 4 or 5 years after my peers were going through it. I was more or less a kid through most of high school and it wasn't until I was about 17 that my brain started to change. I was a teenager after everyone else was growing on. Anyone else... |

| I'm now 34 and I just now am getting to feel like an adult. I've always been about 5 years behind. When I was 10, I often still watched little kid shows during the day in the summer. When I was in high school, I still felt like a 12 year old and often acted like one. In college, I felt more like a ... |

| Pacing is a big one for me. I do enjoy walking a great deal and often when I walk it will be almost the exact same path for months. I find that it does intensify my creativity and I'm always working on a movie in my head. Sometimes I will be at peace and have a thought pop into my head that I will j... |
