Hi,
I'm turning 31 in 2 weeks. The boy I knew at age 18-25 isn't much different from who I am right now, a little less fit but my life is basically the same with more responsibility. I always thought that entering adult hood would ''feel'' like I'm an adult. I can say I am but that doesn't change much. Is this feeling relatable? Do I one day wake up and go 'I'm an adult now'?
I do feel my arguments are better formed than they used to be. I am matured in a sense that I behave better in working scenarios but I am essentially the exact same person. I'm kind of ''pretending'' to be an adult. But you might as well put me in a group op 20 year olds and I would blend in just like I normally would except it would just feel weird now where the back of my head would just go "They probably think what grandpa is doing here".
Perhaps I'm just naturally a bit of slow grower. I still play Maplestory and World of Warcraft just like I did in 2005. I still like coloring books to quiet my never ending thoughts and I still place a lot of value in aesthetics.
Are we all playing pretend here or am I just slow to grow into adulthood?
