Growing up

Today I find myself as I'm packing up my various dvds and game consoles that a part of my life has just ended. In a few days I'll be on my own in the world as I'm moving into an apartment with a few friends. It feels weird to me yet scary at the same time as I'll have more responsibilities such as making rent which is very important as other people will be depending on me to contribute a fixed amount each month. It also freaks me out that I can no longer be the kid I wanted to stay as. With all the sudden changes that's been happening to me in the past few months, I've been forced to grow up too quickly, doing things I never thought I would have to do in this stage of my life. Hell, drinking for the first time was weird to me but yet for a person who's about to turn 21, its time for me to leave my childhood. Of course I'm always afraid of failing at this new lifestyle but I have to admit, I'm so happy I have found friends who I can completely trust and rely on, being like my second family. So as I leave my home and grateful for what my family has done for me, it's time for me to accept the hard fact. I have grown up.
