As a parent with 20yr. old twins in college, it blows my mind how terrified they are to grow up even now. I wanted to be an adult from about 3 onward lol.

Weird, i was the complete opposite. I was all about wanting to be an adult when i was younger. Now in my 40s I am more petrified than I have ever been and it gets worse every year. Life peaked at 25 for me and has been a never ending spiral downward ever since. I wish and think about going back to do it all over way more than I want to admit.

If you wait until you’re 40 it’ll be super easy.

I was 41 when I got medicated for ADHD. Still haven’t grown up, but I’m a little more responsible now.
