So, in the past few days, it just hit me. Sitting in the trendy coffee shops, listening to the likes of the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Queen while reading big-kid books seems to add up. Going to college, getting a car, dealing with relationships, dealing with my past, makes it work.
I'm an adult. I never felt like one before this, but it's finally hit me.
FUUUUUUU-
It's not particularly a good or bad thing, but I feel like my childhood innocence is completely gone. Everyday when I wake up, it really feels like everyday is completely different. It's unfortunately not shaded by the rose colored glasses of yesteryear, but it feels like I have a purpose in life, not just a child filling in adult shoes, being a good waifu and college student. I feel like my connections with people matter.
I spent yesterday attempting to watch anime and do all that stuff I used to do, and it just felt like a giant meh. I wanted to go read and go outside and enjoy the sun.
On the other hand, it's very scary. My interests are taking a sharp turn, and it leaves me nothing to fall back on. What do people generally do when they have life-altering shifts?
At least I hope it's being an adult. Either that, or I'm just becoming too goddamn trendy. I dunno.
But it's really a refreshing, although scary trend.

I don’t want to be an adult.
arg, I am hoping that day doesn’t come to me very soon.
I’m technically an adult (18) but I still feel very much like a kid. College feels like one big field trip away from parents where you still have class. I’m sure that’ll change, or maybe it just hasn’t hit me yet. I dunno.
I don’t want to be an adult.
I hate how kids and teens want to be adults… I just go 😐
You only get to be young once (and for a short time), so enjoy it.
I’m 19 and I still feel like a kid. That day won’t hit me for a looooong time.
I always tell myself that one day I’ll learn to grow up, ignore my past frills and become one. And I wasn’t ever sure I wanted to be an adult, either way.
I think I both think like an adult, but also think like a kid.
I think relatively, I’m pretty much friggin fresh 8D
I don’t feel like a kid at all cuz I’m a perpetual pessimist and cynic. ;-;
I feel like a horny 60 year old.

Good luck. Im 23, I’m with Reve on this one. Too much crap already, and I still can’t seem to get my life back on track because when I do, karma kicks me in the ass again, and I’m back down (ex. I wanted to live on my own, and i got kicked out and had to go live at my moms house, and holy shit she is so controlling and systematic. OK she offered low rent, but she is only generous like that to make people owe her back. BAKA!
