Growing Up

Is it really optional as the motivational posters say? Or did you ever think "Man, I am fucking grown up now I've done *this*".

THE day I felt grown up was the 6th of September 2007. I'd just got my license and I was driving to my mum's house. On my own. With no one else in the car. On that very moment I knew that I was grown up.

It's been 8 years and I haven't had such a grown up moment since. I've lived overseas, I've paid bills, I've been serious with my boyfriend for lyke EVAH, but I've never felt as grown up as I did driving in the car by myself.

I think it's because of my lack of a proper job, excluding my catering manager BS job in Dubai because if you don't make the money then it's volunteer work; Volunteering doesn't count. Felix and I have never lived *alone* in our own place despite being together for coming up 6 years *ahh!*. I suppose since we've been together for this long I've never had an opportunity to do anything for myself. I've never had to really think hard about money and budgeting and all that boring stuff because I have a lovely nerdy boyfriend to do it all for me. My mum fights all my battles with shop assistants and the like. 

I just hope Felix and I are together forever because it's a little too late to learn... Or I can't be bothered to learn. I like being a kid.
