It is, in my mind, a much bigger deal than turning 21, because it is symbolic of you leaving your teenage-hood. I laugh a lot but I've never thought of anti-wrinkle cream. Haha, maybe in ten years.

And don't let that happen neither! Stay young in your heart. Im not saying act immaturely but know when you can be a kid. Disneyland - its okay to prance around, at a job function - no. But kids don't know the difference, we do. I'm scared too of becoming ...just 20. I'm 19 now. But I think being 20 opens a bunch of new doors. It's my young adult stage. I fear that I will use anti-wrinkle cream in a year or two... but hey wrinkles means I laughed a lot and I can live with that. And you WONT be a disapointment in life. You are what you make it. So make it right. You don’t have to turn into an adult overnight. And don’t let that happen neither! Stay young in your heart. Im not saying act immaturely but know when you can be a kid.

I wish I could tell you not to be that way, but of course I can't. I guess just try as best you can to take it a little at a time and tackle problems as they appear. It's been a hard thing for me to learn, to not worry all the time and just deal with stuff as it happens, but I feel like it's helped. At the same time, I can understand your feelings of trying to make it out to be less than it is because you're afraid of being disappointed...I've done that many times as well. Aw.

It wasn't the prettiest wake up call but it's sometimes neccesary in the end. The day after Halloween spent next to my toilet confirmed I’m not in my early twenties anymore.

But I am also bracing myself for disappointment. Already, I am picking holes in my dream. I guess I am too much of a realist to let myself have this moment. Yes, of course it is my dream.

It may seem scary now, but I know you can do it and I bet the transition will be smoother than you think. This IS your dream, after all! :) You’re so good at conveying those triumphs and failures, confident moments and insecurities that we all go through.

It's ironic because part of the reason you may hold back from being critical is exactly that "maturity" you feel. <i>Because</i> you don't want to be ignorant and judgmental, you don't want to judge your careless/wreckless peers. Sometimes I wonder if they're the ones acting their age or if we are. No worries about the rant, I completely get it.
