You know this transition to becoming an adult is a bittersweet experience.
Along with the increase in responsibilities you make a ton of discoveries.
You become your own person and slowly become the provider of yourself.
When I graduated high school I had an allowance...now I don't.
When I graduated high school I had never had a job...now I've been working constantly for the last 3 years.
When I graduated I weighted the square root of 15,625...now I....don't....
When I graduated I had been in a relationship for about a year...now going on 4.
When I graduated I had only paid for maybe my haircuts...now I pay for my car, gas, tuition, books, supplies, basically everything else...
Everything changes...you change your identity...you establish beliefs and become opinionated.
What I felt strong about as a teenager has changed....now I feel strong about some things I never thought I would have felt anything for.
Change is a little intimidating but at the same time it feels amazing...sort of like transitioning into a new life.
I'm sure it doesn't stop here.
I'll transition from a young adult to an adult and maybe a parent.
I'll go from being in school and studying my ass off to building a career and forming new relationships with coworkers, neighbors, and maybe even coffee-goers.
Life is full of wonderful things and I'm ready to experience IT ALL!
