A few hours ago, I was chatting with a friend of mine over Facebook. We weren't talking about anything in particular, just throwing jokes and teases here and there. In the middle of it, I pointed out that she's about to turn 20 this year. Well, so will I. We passed it off with the usual "Oh you're getting so old!" kind of tease, but the idea of this "big leap" lingered in my head. 20 is not "old" per se. But erasing the "-teen" suffix in one's age forever reminds us of something.
"You're not a teen anymore. Start acting like an adult."
And being a adult means that sometimes, you've got to suck up your pride to keep everything around you from crumbling. Sometimes, you just have to bow down so that you're loved ones would stop getting hurt. And even though you hate apologizing when you know you're not in the wrong because you find it unfair, you just have to do it.
Looks like I'm about to start learning how to act like an adult right now.
*sigh*
It's time to make this damned phone call and hopefully get this over with.
Oh, you :( Good luck! :D
