!␣ is a playground for grown kids
What is the definition of ‘an Adult’?
Last few years, I’ve been feeling there are no ‘adult’, there are many grown kids who is good at acting ‘being adult’.
Or maybe there are a lot of ‘adults’, but myself is not. I used to imagine that 28 years old woman is an adult, however, when I see myself I am not, I haven’t changed any since I was a little girl, I see myself like a kid.
I am not good at acting ‘an adult’, the way I speak, the way I do are too childish, which my previous bosses or even my staff point out. This is not very good for my age and position. But it’s so difficult to act an adult, isn’t it?
When I see friends working, I feel ‘they are so good at acting ‘adults’, they are not like that when they are off from work!’.
As I see the hackers at !␣, I see many grown kids, not adults. They are not even acting like ‘adults’. They are, or I’d like to say, we are just like kids playing with toys, no differences.
Our hacker space is just started, there were nothing, we are making the space where we don’t have to act like ‘adults’, just do what we want to do. It’s so much fun.
There are not many things I have done in the past, and there are a lot of things I want to do, but most of the time my skill is not enough to make it. At the hackerspace, I feel like I can get ideas and also learn many things from playing with other grown kids.
