I'm turning 23 and it's a New Year, am I grown up yet?

Dec 31, 2007

I have always been a little apprehensive about putting myself out there in the past, so I had yet to blog. But tonight marks a new year, and an older me. I'm not afraid to be honest about myself, at least not at the moment.

Just thinking about turning 23, I mean that sounds old doesn't it? It does to me. At 21, you're practically fresh out of the womb...22 is still young but pushing it...at 23 though, you are expected to be this responsible, together person.

I'm not done soul-searching, I have yet to find my purpose. I don't know what the future brings, and that's scary.

No longer can I blame my laziness on my youth (it's not cute anymore), now it's just considered a character flaw.

Can't pretend that I'm a kid anymore, because obviously I'm not: I'm married, I'm a homeowner, I have a mortgage, yet I still feel like that awkward little girl I was in high school.

How can I act like an adult when I don't feel like one? When do I finally start feeling like a grown up?

Is it just me, or does everyone feel like this in their 20's?
