18 years and 7 months

Updated: Jul 11, 2023

18 years and 7 months. That’s my current age. Since I never wrote a blog on my entry to adulthood on or near my birthday, I thought why not post one now about how being an adult is turning out to be for me and whether or not I’ve changed. So, basically this is like personal report that I’m writing for myself and I don’t know how many of you will relate to this, but I thought I’ll still share it with y’all.

Is there difference between before I was 18 and now? Definitely. I feel like I have more responsibility which is the most adult-ish thing people say you’ll have to deal with once you’re an adult and believe it or not, it’s true. One such thing is to learn how to communicate through mails, which was a concept I preferred to be alien to me for quite some time till I had to inculcate it in my life recently.

One more thing that has changed and which me and my friends realised is that we look older compared to what we looked like a year back. I know this is a weird thing to say considering we become older every year but we finally feel like we don’t look like children any more. I don’t know if it’s true, but atleast we think it is.

Though, I am analysing things much more nowadays(owing to a good change in the nature of how I’m taught education recently), I’ve realised that there’s still a part of me that’s still goofy and weird in ways more than one like writing whatever that comes to my mind, same with talking and being so completely oblivious sometimes that I won’t even notice if a celebrity was walking next to me.

But one change that I’ve noticed in me and that I’m really happy about is that I’ve become more confident socially and internally though it is still a work in progress. This has also helped me get into my creative zone more often, though my inability to stay active on my Instagram page for this blog doesn’t reflect that(but hey, I’m trying).

Also, I think I’ve finally found “my girl gang”- the bunch of goofballs I’m going to be sitting with in a café somewhere, cracking the stupidest of jokes, even when we’re 60 (they know who they are).

So, that’s it for now. That’s all I could think of right now. Even though this blog article is a little different than what I usually write about, I thought it would be nice to write a personal check-up kind of article and maybe some of you might be able to relate. Maybe not. But it’s just something I felt I should I write about and post.

Have you turned 18 yet? If yes, have you gone through any changes? If no, what do you think being an adult is going to be like?
