So you’re 22 something and you’re about to set your GPS for your “True North.” This is it! Gone are the care free Varsity days filled with an overdose of friends and fun. Working, paying taxes, potential partners to marry … so many decisions to make, right? Yikes!
Although, legally, you become an adult at the age of 18, there’s no “certificate of maturity” that identifies you as a grown-up. Nah, this one does not come about in the form of a birthday. Scientists now say that you don’t really become fully adult until you hit 30, which is when your brain concludes its three-decade-long development. Here’s the thing: Being an adult isn’t something you are, it’s something you do, in small ways, every day. It’s a daily and gradual process of choosing maturity over immaturity. It is a matter of character and action … not age.
True, there’s a lot about being an adult that’s scary and stressful, but there’s also a lot that’s wonderful – like figuring out who you are, getting to go after the things you’ve always dreamt of and talked about, and learning just how strong and capable you are.
Remember, you only get one life, so make the most of it and do what needs to be done.
Welcome to adulthood young ones! You are so much more capable than you give yourself credit for.
You’ve got this!
