When is Grown-Up Really Grown-Up?

Prompted Thoughts

When was the first time you really felt like a grown-up?

This question prompts a reflection on adulthood and a very personal struggle with the concept of growing up. How can we feel more like confused teenagers than actual adults, even when we're paying bills and raising kids?

Is it that maturity might come, not from having all the answers, but in recognizing our limitations and leaning on others for support?

Takeaways:

• Maturity isn't just about having all the answers; it's recognizing our own limitations.
• Adults can still feel like confused kids trying to navigate life and its challenges.
• The experience of adulthood may involve acknowledging that no one truly has it all figured out.
