There have been certain events in my life that made me feel "adult like"...buying a house, getting married, getting divorced, buying a car. But I also realized I did those things early, and I wasn't really an adult. I was "playing" grown-up, which has to alot to do with why I am no longer married.
I think that July 2007 when I moved into my own apt, is when I realized I was truly becoming an adult. But I realize it more and more every day now! I do laundry, dishes, and actually enjoy my house being clean. I pay bills, and worry about money and the future.
I go to the Dr when I am supposed to, take the medicine I am supposed to, and generally try to be healthy. I know that 3 sodas a day is bad for you, as is 3 or 4 cupcakes.I can't down a ton of alchol anymore and actually crave water.... I get crazy aches and pains, my knees hurt when the weather is bad.
I am surprised how exhilarated I am with the new LG color washer and dryers, I want one so bad!!! But for even sakes, its a WASHER AND DRYER!!!! But you can wash more, and dry more, and no bending over... which is handy, seeing how I have a bad back now that I am an adult!
Oh and not to mention that I had a conversation this morning with a couple friends about politics.. Really?!? We actually talk about this stuff and are interested in it. I'm kicking myself for not registering to vote, when I could. I actually have an opinion this year, and want to be heard!
I never expected this one, but it actually offends me when I don't get carded. I remember the first time it happened, I was like cool, I look 21... Now I'm like damn, do I look old to drink. But of course I do. I even notice the other day that the skin under my eyes can be pulled out, and it stays that way... Time to break out the eye creams!
Almost everyone I know is married, kids, prego or in a committed relationship. When the hell did this happen? I remember going on random dates and double dates in high school. Granted I date the same guy forever, but we did break up for about 5 months.... But I do say, I sure as don't miss dating. This is the nice part about being an adult. I love seeing my friends with their husbands, boyfriends, kids... I can just see us all in 10 years, with out cute little families having a BBQ in someones backyard.
And remember how your parents and grandparents used to tell you how time would fly when you get older. Well guess what....IT DOES!!!! I can't believe that it is already October. Where did this year go? When did it even become 2008?? I just want to dig my heals in the concrete and yell STOP, I don't even remember what happened last month, please don't start a new one already!!!!!!!
I know people reading this are saying... Carla you are only 25 years old...But that's just it! I am 25, and a legal, billing paying, cloths washing, dishes doing, laundry sorting, 40 hour a week working, insured (medical, and auto!!), rent paying, politic caring,LG washer and dryer lovin,God-fearing, ADULT.....
