Being an adult...what does that really mean?

Being an adult to me means having the capabilities to make the tough
decisions and take care of my responsibilities while maintaining my
"don't give a fuck" attitude and keeping my goofy sense of humor in tact.

On days when I don't really feel like "adulting" I just tell people my
"give a damn" is broken. Reaching this stage in life def has benefits.

Means you stop blaming everyone and everything else for the choices you've made.

Sometimes you're forced to grow up.It's taking responsibility for your life and not running back to mommy and daddy.Owning your life facing the consequences for your actions.Treating others like you want to be treated.
But I did all those things as a kid...so I don't fucking know what it means to be an adult.Keeping a Job? Paying your own way..paving your own path..having a conscience?..paying my bills..driving my own car,owning my own house?..did it.

I guess if I had to pick wanting to be a kid or an adult..adult then.

Being patient and calm in the face of challenges and adversity. Understanding that most people want to love and to be loved, give them a break when they upset you.

Laugh with people, not at them.

Just a start.
