Multi-colored socks
It's time for posts, do not you think?
So, I'm 18 years old and 43 hours old. It's strange. As if yesterday, we with school friends carelessly chatted and fantasized: "And imagine what we will be when we become adults?" - all in this spirit. Well, the moment did not take long.
Personally, I still believe that age is not more than just a figure that is important from a legislative point of view (and in some respects, of course, with a biological one). By the eighteenth birthday, such words and phrases as "adult life", "new stage", "responsibility", "seriousness" and blah blah blah were pasted. Well, what nonsense! Proceeding from such sayings, it seems that adulthood (by the way, I'm less and less attracted to this word) is a stamp that should instantly make you a different person and in general overturn your world over and over again. And it's sad that over the years a lot of people, sometimes even unconsciously, are slowly adjusting to certain age patterns, diligently denying themselves the things they really want to do. But no, you can not, they will not understand.
To hell with it. To hell!
Start up bubbles. See cartoons (many, many cartoons!). With pride, wear backpacks with your favorite princesses or ninja turtles, and do not forget to pick up steep colored socks with unicorns. Roll with the roller coaster, sculpt snowmen, throw snowballs - all this is necessary with screams and laughter. Sleep with soft toys. Buy yourself a huge balloon with Sponge Bob and go show him this world full of mysteries. Put on a sheet and be a ghost. If you want to do something that others consider "fun for kids", "frivolous and stupid" - do it immediately. The number of years lived does not determine, and certainly does not limit your freedom.
I can not help but mention that I celebrated this Birthday with a tremendous joy: my magical and most native people, cooked with love a cherry pie, twelve candles, unrestrained tears of overwhelming happiness, karaoke and a game of Scrabble at 3 am for IAMX songs.
I read about those wonderful things that other people wanted on this day, and I realized: all dreams have come true, you do not need to ask for more, and you do not want to.
Welcome to "adulthood" :)
Even when growing up, there is always a place for your inner child inside you.

Hi, I enjoyed your post and thoughts about turning 18. When i was 18 the world was full of opportunities, there was nothing to holding me back and it was all possible.
Then for about 25 years the responsibilities, children and feeling about things do change, times change, and the responsibillities of life.
However for the last 6 years i gave my house back to the bank, got rid of the business, sold my nice cars, gave up my band and changed completely. Why?
Sometimes the wisdom of age has a lot to say if anyone listens anymore. To have lived over twice your age does change things. And yes I still have fun, teach my kids at home, ride their BMX fasster than they can to the shops, act like an idiot, and throw gay abandon to all sense on many occassions. But one thing i find that i feel is a blessing whilst i can be that care free, i feel better knowing what i know, even if it is a burden, i am better placed to educate my children, myself and understand the importance of being responsible too.
As I have grown i have never wanted to be the stiff shirt in the office, but i have never wanted to go back and be who i was when i was 18, it had its issues i could have avoided.
Keep hold of your youth, and grow into wisdom, it can be enjoyable too.
