Adulthood

[ringsandcoffee]

Every so often, while my mind is hopping along on one of its random bunny trails, I'm suddenly reminded of the realization that I'm a full-blown adult. Take last night, for example. I was laying in bed, looking at my balcony, and I suddenly thought, whoa. I have a job, my own apartment, I pay my bills (and make sure to do it on time), buy the things I need, etc. Even though I've been living on my own for almost 10 years, I've only been totally self-sufficient for about half that time. Still, when I was in college, I had to budget my money carefully. Living in my roommate's old house was like, almost a favor to me. I don't think anywhere else could I have had my own room and bathroom for so cheap. If it weren't for her, I'd have had to move back with my mom.

I love my little apartment. I love being independent. I love only having to clean up after myself. Still, I'd like to find my version of Darcy or Han Solo or Aragorn :) Tall, rugged, scruffy-haired and handsome.

Amen to that, sister.
