Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
I find myself incapable of properly expressing my agreement with Turtlepower's post, so go read it again instead. What changed on my 18th birthday? Well, that was the day of science fair. So I didn't have to work on that anymore. Ever. ... This is
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
I honestly don't remember my 18th birthday; I must have woken up and done something on that day, but what precisely I couldn't tell you. The one thing I do know for sure is that you won't feel any different. It's not until you're in your late
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
Turning 18 isn't as scary as it seems. Most people don't actually expect you to suddenly wake up with a vision in your head and a song in your heart on your 18th birthday, knowing exactly what path you're going to resolutely march down for the rest
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
@crashmaster no one said it would be easy. Also I'm sorry you weren't told that education is expensive. I saved money by going to community college for my Associates degree but now I have some student loans from my BA degree. I am going to have even
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
Hello, everyone. I've done some thinking. Musing. I've let my thoughts orient themselves and yet... I am still sad. I feel unfulfilled. I feel alone where I shouldn't. I feel more confident in the end than I do in the journey leading up to it. I'm
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
Well aren to be honest if you are that way inclined, you are well on the way to not being automatic which is the key.Chances are that if you keep your ears pealed as it were you can probably snag a job or so.You seem to be out there and not in the
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
I am also in a siimlar situation, happ with my life but I don't know what I'll be doing in five years. At the moment, I do martial arts, a drama group, i have a carer who comes roundonce a week and we get to do whatever, including playing games and
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
Well coledge for me is high school for you guys in the us its university or tech or something like that I suspect.Well I guess university is ok if you are outgoing, can fight for your rights and not go on automatic.For me I let it go, got support
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
I am in a similar position at the moment, I'm going to be 18 in about four months. However, it's difficult for me to look forward to it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. At the moment computers are an interest of mine, and I'm thinking I may work
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
Thanks to all who read the above post and got something out of it; I try to put my heart into every word I write out here. I've gotten that compliment about going into writing books and the like from my mother-in-law of all people. Sadly, I'm good
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
Hello.@Nocturnus, that was a great post, very touching! I hope someday I will have a relationship like you and your wife. Really, you should take up writing novels or something, that post was really beautiful. I gave you a thumbs-up.

Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
Nice one, aaron! Another example is this here story if I may:About six years ago, a woman had a child, a child who's father did not want him whatsoever, telling the woman that she should have the pregnancy terminated regardless whether she wanted
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
@Nocturnus thank you very much for this. I will now give an example of something that happened to me, which I think might demonstrate this cause and effect thing. This is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.I am in the UK. In 2014, I
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
I am an adult but I don't feel like I've changed too much. One thing I will say is that I'll have to get more independant one day but the local support is kind of meh, so I've taken my time to focus on interacting with more sighted folks and learn
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
when I was 10-15, everyone said how old I was for my age. I more readily got on with adults than anyone around my own age, someone even told me when I was ttwelve I came across like an 18 year old.When I was 18-22 everything seemed to be going
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
I had the same thing when I was around 15 or so. Growing up scared the crap out of me, but I knew I couldn't stay in child land forever, and so I was sort of in limbo for a while, too scared to move on, but I knew I couldn't move back. You sound
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
Hello everyone. I thank you for your encouragement. I do like to distract myself... Games, schoolwork, I'm reading American Gods right now. Very distracting. But to answer your question, my major will be creative writing and my minor some form of
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
Hello Dragomier.Well everyone has fears and doubts no matter what you're doing. It's natural, and it's also good to help you think things through. It is hard growing up sometimes, but it's also good for you. Something I do when I'm having doubts
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
Definitely agree with JeffB. Going from 17 to 18 wasn't as big a change as I thought. I went to college, and did some things that adults normally do, but it wasn't a sudden change where I had to grow up instantly. Those who do grow up instantly are
Re: Contemplations of A Soon-to-be Adult
I think everyone has things that they miss from their childhood and fears are normal to have for sure. I'm 26 now and next year I'll be working in the field as a mental health counselor. Still though I am still in touch with my inner child and there
