No one ever grows up—where growing up means you have it all figured out and are in control of your life and no one can tell you what to do. Everyone, to greater or lesser extents, is faking adulthood, bumbling through as best they can, imitating the adults they grew up with and the also-faking-it adults around them, going through huge shifts in life and perception every few years. There is no magic age at which you have suddenly “come of age.” There is no finish line you cross where WHAMO! you’re home free.
