My first post, and what i intend to do here

I am a human being. My mythology is my history, my stories of the past. When we grow up, many of us- whether by accident or design- lose part of that. I'm a depressing kind of person, when it comes to talking about growing up. I feel like i've lost a lot of my childhood, and am missing out on the "growing up" that i want to do. I currently live in Arizona, but i spent a good part of my childhood in the midwest, and given the option, it would be a midwestern culture in which i would choose to spend my youth. It has an atmosphere of human-ness to it that the west has yet to emulate. Maybe that is because it has its own history. It has its own mythology. It has had its own chance to grow up.
