A difficult thing given my unconventional approach to life. The novelty of being...whatever it is I am wears off quickly and I am often told to "grow up already."
The measure of a person isn't his or her conformity to arbitrary social expectations. If you're pulling your own weight you're all right with me. If you're happy while you're doing it, even better. If you're achieving your goals or working on achieving them, better still.
Which actually given the mental state of my friends and their marriages and jobs? I'm glad I didn't rush out the door to "grow up." Cause they're not happy.
That makes me sorry for your friends. But then, I have a marriage, a job, and all of that but I still didn't grow up. I've determined that I can be responsible without it.
