    There comes the time when all of us will have a quiet moment of realization, and what we will realize is that somehow we became adults.
    The question then remains... are we good at being adults?

    Are you an adult?
    Do you feel like an adult?
    Are you good at being an adult?
    What about you will never change no matter how old you are?

    I'm technically an adult.

    I don't feel like an adult.

    I'm not completely failing at being an adult, so I guess that's something.

    I don't feel comfortable stating what will never change, because I honestly don't know. However, I will say that there are a few things that I hope will never change. I hope that I never lose appreciation for the art forms that I currently adore, because I never want to be that adult that dismisses anime or cartoons or video games as 'kids stuff'. I also deeply hope that I never forget just what it felt like to be a kid/teenager/young adult. I hope I never forget just how confusing and stressful life can be and how dismissing those feelings and experiences as merely 'immature' is so damaging. I've talked to too many people who once they become an 'adult' suddenly talk about teens and their complaints about parents being unfair, and I just look at them and go, "But don't you remember feeling like that? It's a real feeling and it's not just because they're whining. They have genuine reasons for feeling that way, and back when you felt that way, there were adults looking down at your concerns too."

    Are you an adult? yes i have no idea how it snuck up on me. It seems like i really didn’t get to have much or enjoy much of being a teenager, because my family was struggling during that time. And so was I with my mental health(depression and social anxiety). So most of those years were unfulfilled. And I feel like now I’m actually doing the things I should have done as a senior in HS (finding myself, having a unique personality, figuring out what I love and would want to do for the rest of my life, being more confident in who. i am instead of trying to fit in with the crowd, etc). It’s a weird experience of being repressed for so long, but finally being able to come out of your shell. Except now i have to do it with the added fact that I’m in my twenties and no longer a teenager able to figure it all out like I would have been back then.
    Do you feel like an adult? Yes and no. Sometimes I feel mature. Sometimes i feel immature. It all depends on the situation. But i think i have an ok balance between the two for the most part tbh
    Are you good at being an adult? I hope so. I can’t go back lol i’m a adult forever now lmbooooXD
    What about you will never change no matter how old you are? My ability to dream and be creative and imagine. I will never change having a writer’s/creatives soul or world view. We see the world differently. But it is so beautiful how we see the world. We’re the ones with the most hope inside of us and when we release that to create, we can help change the world. Or at least change someone esle’s life for the better through our art and works.
