When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
The first time I ever felt like an adult was very deliberate. I’ve discussed in past posts about my life-long caffeine addiction. I decided on my 12th birthday, I would start drinking my coffee black.
From the time I was eight, I put milk and sugar in it, but all the adults I knew drank it black. I must drink it black!! I’m almost a teenager for Christ’s sake!! I wouldn’t feel like an adult again until I bought my first house 25 years later.
It’s funny how you spend your whole childhood wishing you were older and your whole adulthood wishing you were younger.
