There are days where I stop for a moment and realize that I don't really feel like I've grown up. Like this job I have is just to sustain the kind of lifestyle that I would've wanted to live in middle/high school if I didn't have existing obligations or restrictions like that of money or age or dependency on parents for rides and so on. Well technically, the job itself is a restriction on its own... as it is now, wouldn't it be even more freeing to be funemployed, maybe?
These are the days when I have to remind myself that I can't have everything in life. I think part of becoming an adult is learning to accept and deal with the restrictions that life imposes on you, and will continue to impose on you as you grow older. Family, food, money, housing, relationships, children, and time itself... no one is ever truly "free" in the literal sense of the word. It would probably be more freeing to simply be able to come to terms with that and still find fulfillment in other ways. To still remain content with your own life at the end of the day.
Putting it that way, though... I still have a lot of growing up to do.
