I went to a bar a few nights ago, coupled with heavy drinking.. Something that was routine to what feels like a lifetime ago. I woke up the next day, struggling to get out of bed, thinking, How did I do this regularly... & wake up only to do it all over again?!
& so we, 20-somethings, are left baffled at the changes that cross us over from young adult to adult.
excerpts of G&D
I used to worry that growing up meant not having many surprises or intense passions. But I think they're replaced with consistency, stability, security, & clarity. There's less confusion associated with not having direction.
There is a real appreciation of the simple blessings of clean laundry, the feeling as your tired body hits the bed at night, that minute of silence in the morning right before you step out of your door to start your day, & a beer, cheeseburger & ice cream with a friend under the sun.
& that is pretty comforting.
Maybe I spoke too soon. My brother just asked me how old I was & why I'm not engaged yet -.-'
Soon enough, I'll have older women trying to set me up with their bachelor sons... BAH! this adulthood thing sucks! Haha :)

LOVE THIS! So you know what is my mostest favorite about going to bed...when I go to bed fresh out of the shower. I used to not care if I only showered in the morning and not at night before bed..but now I do! It feels so much more amazing to be clean of the day's activities and stress and to curl up in my comforter. Another sign of reaching adulthood???? Haha.
