Growing up

I was suddenly struck today - as I occasionally am - by this feeling of OLDNESS. Which is this slightly weird moment of wondering when the heck I grew up.

You know, for so long I was a kid and then a teenager, it's weird to be responsible for your rent, food, power, internet, telephone bill and finances. Even weirder to be talked about as "this lady" when in stores.

Sometimes I just feel like I'm playing at being a grown up. Like I'm a big kid trapped in a grown up's body. But that's not true either is it? Because for the most part I like being a grown up. I do hate the money woes though. It's like there's never enough.

And all the responsibility and the baggage that we pick up along the way.
