The weirdness of becoming an adult
Nobody really tells you how strange adulthood feels. One day you’re worrying about homework and the next you’re comparing insurance, groceries, rent, and retirement plans. Sometimes I still feel like I’m pretending to be an adult and waiting for someone to notice. What’s funny is that almost everyone around me seems to be doing the same thing. We’re all just making decisions with the information we have and hoping they work out. I used to think adults had everything figured out. Now I realize most people are simply better at looking confident while figuring things out as they go. When did you finally start feeling like an actual adult?
