Day 15

Day 15: What is the moment that you leave childhood and enter adulthood?

Yeesh. This is a good question today. I wish I had given myself more than 40 minutes to come up with a decent post. I think this is especially difficult, because I often have to remind myself that I am an adult.

I don't believe there was one specific time or event that I can look back on and say, "that is when I became a woman." It sure as hell wasn't the day I got my period, or when I got my first bra. That's just puberty. It wasn't when I got my driver's license. That just meant that I got to drive to school, work, dance class and softball practice.

I guess I left "childhood" when I started babysitting, and the lives of others were my responsibility. No doubt there were times when I would still act childish, but those times happen occasionally at 29-years-old as well as when I started babysitting at age 11.

There are moments in my life where I still wonder when I'm going to feel like an adult, or what I'll be when I grow up. Does anyone else feel that way? Or am I the only one who doesn't have this whole adulthood thing figured out?
