What's the point?

...See more I'm 21. I was homeschooled my entire life. Sheltered and isolated from the rest of the world. I can get out now, but does it even matter? The life I wanted to live is gone. I never got to be a regular kid, and just do dumb kid things. Don't even know what it's like to be a teenager. For years, there was one thing that I wanted to do, more than anything. And that was to go to prom. But I never got to do that. Now I can't. I've never been in a relationship. Never kissed anyone. I hear people say I didn't miss anything. That teenage relationships are all drama, but I want drama. Teenage love is raw. It's volatile, usually fleeting. It can be one of the most intense emotions one will ever have. And It's one of the most beautiful things in life. I missed it. In fact, I didn't even get a chance to try to have it. Getting to grow up with others is one of the best things in this world. And it's how we become functioning adults. I grew up sad and alone. Now I have no social skills and next to no friends. I never got my coming of age story. Missed all the rites of passage. I don't even know how to drive. It's like my life never even got started. So, what's the point in trying now, 21 years late? Sure, I can still have something of a life. But without going through these things, these experiences. To have those memories to last me. Well, it's not a life I want to live.
