“I am often mistaken for an adult because of my age.”
This sentence caught my eye today and got me thinking about “adulting” and wondering when “adult” shifted from being a noun to a verb (according to Google the use of “adulting” took off in the late 2000’s).
It also reminded me of how I often don’t feel completely grown up. Which, considering how many decades of living I’ve done, seems a little silly.
But really, it makes me ponder the possibility that this is one of those “eternal now” things; that I’ll never “get there” because I’m always just “me” — at every age, in every moment, always the same inside despite the way the outside changes so dramatically over the years and decades.
Regardless, I definitely have days when I can relate 100% to these hilarious “adulting” memes.
