What does it mean to be an adult?

What does it mean to be an adult?

Is it neutrals, classy clothes, and silhouettes?

Is it business casual to brunch?

Is it getting the job you’ve always wanted, feet finally secure in a career?

Is it empty of funky, childlike, and fun?

Is it boring?

What does it mean to be an adult?

Why do I feel this hesitation—

this knot that no one, not even friends

can seem to untangle?

Miriam sats an adult is a fully grown or developed person

But what is life without growth and change?

Am I stuck in this version of myself?

If adulthood my final form?

Have I reached the peak of all I could be?

Is my life now for those that’ll come after me?
