When I Grow Up

My dad actually said "When you grow up, ............." in one of our conversations before I flew back here from a short vacay. Not in a condescending way, but he meant when I begin to work. Because now I don’t you see. Never really had a real job.

And I’ve always felt like I’ve never grown up. Constantly being around people older than me is one of the reasons I feel that way. I skipped two grades in school, and have friends who are mostly older. A youngling wherever I go. 

I’m planning to return Home to work after I graduate from my program this May. This little girl is taking itty bitty steps to finally “growing up”.
