Growing up...

I think I'll start to feel like an adult when I'm twenty-one and in my first year teaching. I guess it's when you start to become a part of the 'real world'. I remember thinking the year thirteens were all so tall and grown up in third form. Really, not so much. Eighteen's an obvious one. Maybe if I was flatting or independent. But it's hard to feel grown up when your mother is telling you to tidy your room or hang out the washing.

Grown up: When you can do what you want, when you want to, and don't abuse that priviledge. I'm not grown up because I can do anything in New Zealand, legally, but I don't want to have just one drink. And I don't study well and I don't keep the house clean and I'm not responsible with money.

I remember I used to think what grown up was... you were completely confident, serious, capible and blah blah... then I realised no one is all of that... I will never grow up.

And to think when I was 13 I still thought that anyone who would drink or do anything like that was a moron 'cos it kills brain cells... well yeah ^^;;

And alcoholic starts with a "K".

But wouldn't it be lovely to reach a point, suddenly, where you were completely confident and capable (serious wouldn't be so fun)? Not that it'd ever happen.

I don't reckon any of us will really be grown up till we're on our deathbeds looking back at our lives as 80-90somethignyearolds. Sounds morbid, I know, but that's what I think.

Great, I worry you. :P

As do many other people. As in, pretty much everyone but Johanna, who is worrying in different ways.
