Our little neighborhood is gradually transitioning from middle aged and older people to young adults.
I can hear it in the too loud laughter responding to the even louder bravado inciting it. The sophisticated set is comfortable in their skin. They make enough money to have the things they want and now they want the lifestyle to go with it.
It is the mating call of the up and coming.
There is a naivety about it that is both charming and annoying.
They honestly believe that this behavior will attract the people they want and admire, little knowing how it will turn on them in the future.
The giggle that stirred a heart annoys the hell out of the businessman who is starting to feel trapped by his situation. And the bravado of a so-called strong personality wears thin when the bill mongers are beating at the door.
This is a stage most of us go through. Some at 14. Some at 28 and some at 40. Unfortunately the end result is seldom any different.
It is play acting with a fury where we try to emulate the people we see on the big screen, who are in fact, play acting.
It pays off for one of them.
