As someone who struggled a bit to bite the bullet and grow up during my early 20s this post was interesting to me:
It’s a bit harsh at points but it’s an interesting statement on what our society thinks grownup means. It means being responsible and independence according to the article. I’m in complete agreement with the responsible part. The independence part not entirely if it means not depending on your friends for things and instead paying professionals. To me part of being friends to be be there for my friends. It’s okay to me that people depend on me. Here are some thoughts I had while reading:
- You are completely fine to never send me a thank you note and save a tree.
- Feel free to assume you can crash here if you need a place to stay when coming through town.
- I will absolutely help you move. ASK ME. I kind of like it and I think it’s stupid to pay for movers.
- You can tell me about your crazy dreams.
Hey thanks for helping me move, letting me crash at your place and I may not have had any crazy dreams to share but you and Alicia hear almost every crazy thing I have to say…which is a lot. So thank you friend.
