Reading this article made my heart swell in a good way. I used to be a "boy" especially in these parts [quote=chaw;#373492;1383582736]A man knows what he wants, and goes for it. [b]A boy may have somewhat of an idea, but not really.[/b] He doesn’t think too much about it, and even if he does, doesn’t exert much effort to get it. A boy is passive, a man is assertive. A man plans for his future and is working towards building a foundation and infrastructure in order to have a family (at some point in his life). [b]A boy lives only in the moment[/b] and his plans are mostly around which bar he’s going to hit up on the weekend.[/quote] The boundary between a boy and a man is somehow blurred, but it's like looking at yourself in the mirror every day -you change as days go, but you don't notice it happening. Now I like to believe I'm halfway there, to being a "man." I was in the process of leaving the "boy" stage when I met this certain wonderful woman and since then, she's become my turning point.
