Adulthood.

I'm finally 18.
Well, I'm a week late but yes, I'm finally an adult now.

Being an adult come with certain assets; driving license, bank accounts, membership accesses (if you know what I mean) and so on.

But it also comes with certain responsibilities. Although not exactly now, but it will in time.
Weights will be put that I would never had expected to be there. Hopes will be pitted on me, expectations to live up to, earning acknowledgment and what not.

But amidst all this, I'll lose things. Things that made me who I am at some point. Things that I was proud of when I was young. The world will mould me into someone new. Someone who my young self will probably not recognize. Someone who will be alien to all what I am now.

Or will I turn out like that?
Guess we just have to trust time to tell us how we'll pit up in the corner.

With newfound music playing through my earphones, chewing mint gum, furiously pushing fingers against a surface and small eyes,
