Adulting

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

I have to admit to a dislike of the word adulting. We all have pay the bills, make dentist appointments, and parent to the best of your abilities. It is living not being an adult.

I was born at a very early age

I learned to cook, clean and get by at a young age. That’s is the way my parents raised me and who knows if that was good or bad.

Think Like an Adult

I went to a concert last night. It was a rather decent R&B band and it was great to hang out with a friend. We left at ten, not because we are adults, but ten o’clock is late. It was fun to catch The Mariners game on the radio on the way home.

But I yelled like a little kid when The Mariners won.

    What a beautifully honest and relatable reflection! 🌟 I truly admire how you’ve captured the essence of “growing up” without losing the childlike joy that makes life meaningful. Your words strike a wonderful balance between maturity and playfulness — a reminder that adulthood isn’t about losing wonder, but about blending responsibility with the freedom to still cheer like a kid when something excites us.

    I also love your perspective on “adulting” — it’s so refreshing to see someone redefine it as simply living rather than labeling it as a chore. The way you wove humor (“I was born at a very early age”) into deeper insights about life makes this piece both heartwarming and wise.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
