Not really a vent, but...
I was just browsing around on facebook, checking in on some old classmates/friends of mine. One of them is married, one of them is about ready to have her first child. Another is engaged.
I just look around and think, "My God, when did we all grow up?" Some of the faces I barely recognize, they've matured so much. It makes me a little sad, that those relationships have come and gone. They're all on their own paths now. Then I start to feel just a little bit left behind, because I very much so still consider myself a young adult, one that still needs to call her mom up on the phone to get a meatloaf recipe or ask her what the best way to clean a certain spot is and her dad still buys her a snow shovel so she doesn't get stuck in her parking spot.
And then I start to feel just a little uncertain, because by next year I hope to be married, and in the next three or four years I'm really hoping to start having my own family. If Mike is accepted into the Navy, I may not even be in this state anymore by next year, with no family or friends to lean on. And that means I won't be a "kid" anymore.
When do you finally start to feel like an "adult"?
