I think that today is the first day in awhile that I have felt like an adult. I would not consider myself immature by character, but adulthood feels differently than I had imagined it as a kid.
I'm not sure what it was that I had expected; to wake up at dawn and drive to work, drink excessive amounts of black coffee and go to the store. Paying bills and watching the nightly news. These were the what made a person an adult when I was a child.
Today I purchased a vacuum. Simple purchase, yet profound. I had fulfilled something that took me back to those childhood ideals of adulthood. My ideas of adulthood are vastly different now; taking care of a house, a dog, a girlfriend that almost cut her finger off... these are what makes someone an adult. Responsibility.
