When do I feel like a grownup?
I'm thinking too much. I need to just enjoy my life.
A...remnant...of my youth is looking to others to vouch that I'm at the right place in my life. Thus, I've never had to worry--much--if I felt I was in the right place.
But I don't have that option anymore. I have gone in different directions than my peers who, too, have gone in different directions. With the exception of college (we've all went), none of us are in a "traditional" place in our lives.
I'm a husband. A homeowner. A partner in a book business. I'm starting a new career in the auto industry while free-lancing in said industry. An uncle. A son. I know where I am but not where I want to go.
Time for a cheeseburger.

If you discover the answer to your opening question, Joel, please let me know what it is.
On the other hand, maybe not. I just might be happier like this.
Which brings to mind an old bit of doggerel I repeat to myself often:
See the happy moron?
He doesn't give a damn.
I wish I was a moron.
Dear God... perhaps I am.
Or to put it another way... When ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise. ;)
