It's Just Kind of Funny.

Something clicked in me, finally, I think. I'm not sure what, or when, but I feel different. A lot of that was this summer and this job. I don't know. This sounds so beyond corny, but I feel like I've sort of blossomed.

It helps that every morning I look in the mirror and find a new appreciation for adulthood. And a new appreciation for being done with puberty. Honestly though. I think I finally know what being an adult feels like. 

Growing up is like a roller coaster, right? Except not in the cliche sense, like ups and downs. I mean like in how fast it goes. Click, click, click--sometimes it feels like it's dragging on and all you want is to be at the top and be able to see what lies ahead. And then when you get there the view is only beautiful for a second, because all of a sudden it's rushing by incredibly fast and you barely have time to make sure that you're strapped in let alone enjoy it.

Adulthood, I imagine, is more like a merry-go-round. You're moving along at the same speed, but it looks faster or slower depending on what you're doing, and as you go around and around small things change but mostly everything is the same over and over again and the only way to keep it interesting and fun is to make it so yourself.

I don't know. That's my theory. I'll let you know how it pans out.
