So I was hanging around at work today playing handball with a 40 year old russian when it dawned on me- sooner or later I was actually going to be an adult. I dont mean physically- I am already an adonis- I mean mentally. while I am quite happy to be a 15 year old boy at the moment its getting hard with things like bills and work and so on and I think one day I might have to move on from giggling at toilet jokes and making crude drunken passes at anything female. But then I thought that really I should already have done that since its been a year since I became independent, and it never happened to my dad anyway- hes 48 and still acts like a 15 year old.
so anyway, and this is mostly just out of interest- when did you become independent (I dont mean your parents let you live in the room thats out the back of the house and charged you 5 bucks a week, I mean when you became responsible for yourself)
and how long after that did the idea of responsibility hit? for me, I left home when I was 18. still waiting for the realisation to actually sink in though. Im at that happy stage in between living at home and actually having a real job with pressure, wife and kids, that sort of thing. Im sort of hoping that I get frozen in time about now, but I think my chances of that might not be so great.
