Adult-ish

Social media is rife with posts and tweets and merchandise documenting the journeys of 20-somethings on the road to the real world where the ultimate prize is called "Adulthood."  At times, the journey can be like a jitney weaving in and out of the onslaught of cars, people, and decisions about where to turn and which lane to be in. Other times, the journey turns into a casual commute on public transit, notable for the comfort of routine.  I join this young man in celebrating what it means to finally be a grown-up (sort of), because truth be told, we grownups are still on that journey. Anyone who says otherwise has stopped living.
