I had a grown up moment



Tuesday night was weird for me. My friend Jennifer's father died earlier during the weekend and so I decided to show support by going to the viewing. I met another friend there who is going through some life changing experiences, mainly marital problems. So I was standing there thinking to myself; here's one friend to the left of me who is about to end a marraige and another friend to the right of me whose dead father is laying in a casket in front of me. I know I'm not that old- but I can say that my life is remarkably different than it was 4 years ago or even 1 year ago. And at that moment I felt officially like an adult. It was kind of weird. I had to stop thinking about it when I realized also that my parents will eventually die- and that's a terrifying thing to think about. I love them too much to think they'll someday not be in my life.
Sorry for being so sober... it was just one of those moments I needed to share.
