adulthood

I think that becoming a grownup is something that creeps up on you for the most part. Its not like a door you walk through or a trophy you win or anything like that.

But I had a profound adult experience today, where i was watcing the barista make my latte, and i realized that if all went as planned, i would literally never have to work in foodservice again. At the same time however, i was really proud that i had the sort of upbringing where, if i really needed to, i COULD work in food service again. It really felt like I had turned a corner or something, because not having to work in foodsevice again is something that is definitely earned, and is consequently attached to a profound sense of achievement.
