Being a young adult...

Being a young adult means a lot of things to a lot of different people. Some view it as just plain getting older, others look at it like a life experience, and a few think it's time to get crazy and leave home. I look at it as a mixture of one and two. As you get older you get more experiences in your life that build character, and form you into the adult you're going to be. Some people classify into different categories of course, some are good, some not so good, and some are just plain annoying (you know the kind of people I'm talking about). We all have our pet peeves when it comes to certain people (feel free to share, by the way). 

As I'm getting older, I still feel sometimes my parents treat me as a child, but I have been surprised over the past three days. I was asked by my significant other to move with him, four states away for a few months. Of course, my response was yes. It would just be for the summer, and I thought of it as a good opportunity to get to know him more, and to get more experiences in my life. Such as, being essentially on my own for the first time, which scares me to death; and living in a different state. After bringing it up with my parents, though they are hesitant, agreed almost immediately. They know they cannot stop me, and they were glad I brought it up to them instead of just leaving. 

See, my younger viewers, though it may be tough being truthful to your parents can actually help things in the long run. They'll trust you more, and let you do more things because they know they can trust you. A little food for thought there. You may think now what your parents say is complete and total crap, but they've been in your shoes before, they know what it's like. Remember, your grandparents were probably  more strict with them than they are with you. You have it easy compared to your parents and grandparents. Life does go more quickly after you turn 18, you will wish you were back in high school, etc. Everything they say is the truth, and will probably say it to my children if I ever have any. Funny how these things work, huh?

My parents actions did surprise me, I thought they would say no right away, but I was very pleased they listened to what I had to say. It felt like my parents, especially my father and myself, bonded. They are treating me more like an adult now, and it's a nice feeling.

Feel free to share some life experiences in the comments! I would love to see them, and also get insight off of them as well.

I just thought I'd share this insightful little post with you all. Thank you for reading~
