adult-hood

When do we become an adult? Yeah, I know when we turn 18, we can buy some smokes, watch some porn and vote and we can't call ourselves a minor anymore. When we turn 21, we can drink and buy beer. But when does the moment happen, when we feel it?

We grow up, we go to college and get a real job with a salary not paid by the hour, we get our own place, create our own rules (no parents allowed..lol) somewhere along the line, marriage and kids come into the pictures. But where is the moment, that it happens, where we feel it?

I believe that we never grow up, sure things change and we get to make more decisions without parents butting in but I don't think we grow up.

Plus being an adult is way over ratted.

I don't know but I am still waiting for the moment where I feel like an adult.

I still don't feel like an adult sometimes just when it's time to pay the bills. I never want to fully be an adult.....I want to do toe touches off the diving board, race my kids and all the neighbor kids around the yard to see if I can beat them, I want to giggle late into the night about stupid stuff with fiends, I want to cry when someone hurts my feelings, I want to scream when I see a hotttt band on stage at a concert, and so much more......so my advise never fully grow up! Just make better decisions and learn from mistakes along the way!
