The Journey of Adulthood: When Do You Really Feel Grown Up?

What is a grown up adult supposed to feel like? I am old and still don’t know that feeling.

Was it when I took my first job or when I graduated from high school? Is that when you are supposed to feel like an adult?

Does graduation make us an adult?? Harrison Keely

Are you an adult when you become a parent? I have grown children and I still am waiting to feel like an adult. I act like an adult. I pay the bills and take care of the house. I have a job and do everything that is supposed to make a person an adult.

Perhaps I felt like an adult when I went through rough times and had to make difficult decisions. That is probably the closest I ever came to feeling like an adult. I never really gave it much thought.

But I still don’t know the feeling of being an adult. What is that supposed to feel like? Is it supposed to be when we do what we have to do to make hard decisions?

It’s been a tough journey reaching adulthood. I guess I made it but I still can’t describe when it happened.
