I’m an adult in the same way a tomato is a fruit — I know it’s true, but it still doesn’t feel right. 😅

I conclude, to some it comes easy, to others it doesn't.
Basically if you manage to follow the system along with some degree of success is a part adulting.
Get a job and keep it, grow in there, have financial independence and stability is giving signs of adulting.
If you manage to get in touch with your emotions and also have a certain degree of control over them, boom, adulting.
Having kids, and helping them grow, or help any other grow, being a teacher or mentor... adulting.
Taking proper care of oneself, be tidy and care about your food, sleep adulting.
And also taking the responsibility of some kind of mission, bring along a vision, that's also part of adulting.

There's many ways to adult:)

But how can I know, after all my nephew said, I am Santa Claus 🥹

Inside all of us is basically a kid wondering what the h3ll happened.

Gyod when I was a kid, I thought adults never got bored, didn't enjoy junk food, liked vegetables, had their lives completely together, were serious all the time,

Basically the parents on "Leave it to Beaver."

50 trips around the sun later - I still hate most vegetables, live on junk food, get bored easily, and do not really "have it together."

They still cannot take me anywhere.

I still call myself a girl, even though I’m technically a woman now 😩

That is the same way I feel about being human sometimes

I'm 48 and still feel that way.

I like being an adult it’s easy for me
