A recent question I asked annoyingly during a movie: Does "coming of age" really exist, or do we just need that narrative to make us believe that it does in order to make sense of the discrepancy between past and present?

I have certainly changed, maybe in response to my environment or as a product of my age, maybe deterministically and maybe only in my head. Maybe the past and present exist simultaneously.
