Adult Life
Becoming an adult is the worst thing that happened to me.
As a kid, I couldn't wait to grow up. I wanted the seemingly fantastic lives that the adults around me were living.
The older I got, the more it sucked.
But what age even makes you an adult? Is it 18 the legal age? 21 when you can legally drink? 25 when you can rent a car? Do you become an adult when you have a kid, or when you go off to school? The first time you have sex? Or the first time you drive a car? Does it happen the first time you are all alone and no one will answer their phone?
Who the hell knows?!
I can't pinpoint a specific time in my life when it happened; when I became an adult. Maybe it happened when I could eat cookies for dinner and no one stopped me. Or maybe it was when I left for school and made my next round of mistakes by myself.
The only thing I know for sure is that I am now an adult.
If I fall asleep on the couch or in the car I don't wake up in my bed or in my parent's arms being carried inside.
When I want a drink, I go to a bar and get one.
Some days I eat cookies or popcorn for dinner. I have eaten ice cream for breakfast and cake to finish it off.
I buy and cook my own food (I must say a personal chef would be nice right now!)
There isn't one event or age that will make you an adult but you will know when it happens and I assure you the adult life is not glamorous.
