Subject: RE: Be Afraid- I'm an adult now.Nah, you've been an adult since 18. But, 21 is cool too, so enjoy it.
This reminds of a conversation I had with a friend back when I was 18. Not to provide any details, but I had been diagnosed with something that apparently like 97% of adults have...some just worse than others, etc. I was telling a friend about it and while it seemed like an uncommon thing, I said, "Actually, 97% of adults have it. Which is weird, because I've only been an adult for 3 months now." It just came out like that...I hadn't thought it through or anything. He was hysterical over it and we still laugh about it - 7 years later! I guess you had to be there, but it's funny how we actually allow a number to dictate whether or not we're an adult. Medically speaking, I was probably an adult years before that; legally speaking, I guess I was an adult...or maybe not for another three years; and personally speaking, I don't find myself to be an adult yet, despite the job, bills, responsibilities, etc.
Enjoy adulthood, and enjoy the visit from your bf. |
