Adulthood...

Adulthood :The road less travelled but according to google...it exists.

I remember there was once a time that I both feared and anticipated the journey into adulthood. I wanted the social freedom that was associated with being ''grown'' but at the same time I didn't want the adult responsibilities that being a ''grown up'' carried (i.e., paying bills, going to work and just being responsible altogether). Foolishly I once imagined that all it took to be an adult was the physical act of moving out of my childhood home and getting a decent job. Ha!, that should have been deemed the final act of childhood and not the first forage into manhood..but alas, I had no guidance and no one to tell me the true measurements/standards of being an adult. There's no rules or requirements because no one knows when they truly become adult-like. Rules like that don't exist or at least they're not recorded for the likes of me (and possibly you) to follow. I mean one can't become an adult until they've fucked up various aspects of their (and possibly others) lives. Yes, I said it. One does not become an adult until they've had a few ego damaging fuck ups under their belts. And lo' and behold, I, kae Williams has more than plenty (eff'ups) to testify about. Those eff'ups are not to be mentioned at this time for brevity's sakes but I will elude that dropping out of college in my senior year was a major faux pas but I've managed thus far to survive and provide. (Catastrophe diverted)

Where am I going with all of this you may ask?...well take a journey with me and I'll take you to the very moment of me hitting each keystroke on this here PDA phone of mine. (gotta love technology)....my true measurement of adulthood isn't how many bills you pay, nor how independent you seem to be...Today, I managed to measure how grown I was by my ability to walk into a bar that I've never been to and just post up and interact with the regulars (of which I might just become @ this establishment).

So yes y'all adulthood isn't about age or responsibility but rather your ability to press ahead and get drunk around muhphuckas © Bernie Mac (R.I.P) you don't know.
