I knew I was a grown up when…20’sI could stay out all night and go to work the following day unscathedRandom sex was considered a rite of passageI could buy my own booze and cigarettesI hosted parties in my own apartment (filled with hand-me-down furniture from mom)I used drugs to escape my flaws30’sTried to stay out all night but called I sick to work the following dayI moved far away from my hometownI got my own place – with all my own furnitureI fell in love with the idea of who he wanted me to beDusting off my dreams was a rite of passage40’sThe thought of staying out all night makes me sleepyI look at old photos and can’t believe I smoked cigarettesFell in love with the person, not the idea of LoveI am taking action to attain my dreams – realizing no one is going to do this for meA clean bill of health from my doctor is a rite of passage
