I think I’ll never be an adult
What exactly is adulting?
According to Urban Dictionary,
Adulting (v): to carry out one or more of the duties and responsibilities expected of fully developed individuals (paying off that credit card debt, settling beef without blasting social media, etc). Exclusively used by those who adult less than 50% of the time.
At the age of (almost) 22, I’m in the midst of ‘adulting confusion’. I mean, I already graduated, I generate (a small amount of) money by freelancing, and I still live in my parents’ house. Or is it my house? I even feel weird when I say ‘my parents’ house’. It’s been OUR home all this time.
My life so far:
School for 12 years.
College for another 3.5 years.
And then I’m suddenly 22.
“What’s next?”
My life has been extremely systematic and structured before. There’s always another milestone I have to achieve.
To be honest, I feel unprepared. I’m not used to feel this free. And this scared at the same time.
Is this what it feels like to be responsible for your own life?
