What I consider being an adult

Lifestyle

It’s already the 11th of January. The days have gone by swiftly already and this first month of the new year is rolling by so quickly I am getting lost in a new, endless rut. Lately I’ve been thinking about what I consider being an adult, not a general-sort-of-speaking-person-in-their-30s, but a considerate, respectful and mature individual.

Becoming an adult and behaving like one is a difficult task to master. Being an adult means not only being independent, making choices for yourself without having to ask others for permission, but it also means being considerate about other people’s feelings and knowing when to be selfish and when to be considerate and giving. 

Adulthood is all about balancing the different aspects of life, being able to handle the curve balls life throws at you and never giving up. 

I am in that first phase of adulthood, trying to figure out what I’m meant to be doing with my life, because you know, I have big dreams and a very impatient trait to my personality which leads me to wanting to do many things in a very small amount of time.

I have many ideas in mind, but not much experience and although this frustrates me and sometimes makes me question my skills and my ability to create something, lately I’ve been trying to take things slowly and pinpoint the major goals I want to achieve in life, but mainly during this year.

What I consider being an adult

By the end of 2016 I want to be able to say I have achieved the following goals:

  • Join a gym
  • Don’t over indulge in sweet expenses too much
  • Save money
  • Enjoy every moment and stress less
  • Take a new course in college 

For now these are the points I want to focus the most on, and I believe they will take me a step closer to the adult I want to be. One step at a time, day after day, just keep working for what you really want and one day you’ll reach the top of the mountain.

    I was once told ‘you’re not an adult by age, but once you can take responsibilities for your life and actions’. That’s why I define myself as an adult since the age of 16, but legally since 18. I have ever since had my own flat, worked and pretty much looked after myself.

    I’ve been an adult since i was 12 and my mother and I role reversed. Twelve-year-olds aren’t supposed to be responsible–with no other help–for a mentally unstable mother. As a result, when I reached my 20’s and had graduated college, I had no desire to mother anyone else… Ever. Being an adult means living, perhaps forever, with the decisions you make at every step of your life. Choose wisely, reach further than you can imagine, have fun and breathe. Brenda

Ciao!

My name is Erika, I’m 26 years old, half Canadian and half Italian, I am proud of being both and I never introduce myself as only one or the other. I’m based in Toronto, Canada, but you’ll see me travelling all over the world for work. On this blog I’m going to share my own, personal style, my favourite beauty products and everything and anything I like or just feel like writing about. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay on my blog!

Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, just when you finally begin to plan something, get excited about something, and feel like you know what direction you’re heading in, the paths change, the wind blows the other way, North is suddenly south  and east is west, and you’re lost. And that’s with following all the signposts.”
