I have two. The first is how un-adult I feel. I don’t feel “grown” even as I hit my late 30s. The second is how very unfair life is. I am still shocked at how unequitable life can be.
That at the age of thirty *cough*, having been amrried over a decade and with plenty of kids, I talk to my mom and STILL feel like a non adult sometimes. Shrug. How can I be in a car with my kids on MY cell talkin to mama feeling like a kid? Weird.
It’s not as …I don’t know what. It’s just not what I thought it would be. As a child, I couldn’t *wait* to become an adult. Now, I wish I could go back to my childhood, heh.
What surprises me most about adult life is making a living. I really wanted to be the kid who grew up to give a million dollars to the homeless dude on the street…
It surprises me how selfish and self-interested people can be…
I’m surprised at how I am so much like my mother…

@Instant Vintage…
No one likes to admit that they are in debt. So I applaud you. As a kid you have no idea of what bills really are…
@ E&P…
I think we all having moments when we wish we could go back to sucking on lollipops and playing double dutch…If we only knew then what we know now.
@Simone
Yep. People in Corporate America get down like that. But you’d be surprised how other sectors can get down…

I love your answers… I’m still shell shocked over the fact that the more I learn the less I know…

That I am an ACTUAL adult. I’m still coming to terms with it in a good way. How petty, mean spirited and mediocre so many ppl in Corp. America are.

I am surprised that it took me all the way to age 29 to realize that I was beautiful— naturally, took 29 years to be comfy in my own epidermis….

I’m still learning…and I’m in my *cough* *cough* thirties….
