The time has come...
Yes, I do believe I may finally be growing up. Too bad it took me almost 23 years to do it.
Yet, the past couple of months have thrown me a couple of fast balls. A new relationship, a HUGE transition from college to the real world, a new job, car maintenance, the crash. Dealing with all of these has made me realize a higher level of responsibility. Not that the connections weren't there before, but now the emotion has moved into the picture. Obligations have materialized and now I find myself thinking moreso of the future than of my status here and now. So I must apologize ahead of time.
Finances will be handled even tighter than when I was in college. I plan on relying on myself. Paying off my debts will be a high one on my priority list. I also will be the grandchild my family needs me to be. My grandpa (he had a stroke back in September) tries harder during his therapy when I'm around. I hope I can get him to walk to the level where he uses his walker on a limited basis.
Do not think I am going to let my other relationships fall to the wayside. I found myself terrible with the phone but via email/instant messager, my friends no matter where they are whether Wausau or Iraq or even Paris, I have been able to maintain my ties.
Many people have said I have been grown up for years, but I think I finally am starting to feel it. The sense of reliability is self-assuring, but in the same token, will I still be able to maintain my naivette? My child-like humor?
lol...everyone knows who I am and how I would answer those questions, but will my actions remain consistent with those answers?
