What's my age agin?

I remember hearing somewhere that teenagers actually work better later on in the day ,

Perhaps even evening/night? I wonder if that's true. I also wonder if that applies to 'young adults'.

Funny categories the terms 'young adult' and 'adult'. I mean, technically us 'young adults' are just 'adults'. But we aren't really considered by ourselves or society as adults. Which is fine with me, I'm about 5yrs old sometimes. But I do fear that I will never actually be an adult.

There is of course an appeal to holding onto being young, but one day you've got to grow up and join society as a 'responsible' member. Or else live out your days as a drop kick.

I fear now, that I lack the path towards being an adult, all the right things you should have at my age... My whole life I've been told I act/speak mature for my age, but when "age" comes I doubt my actions are really up to scratch.

The difference between 18 and before? I can now procrastinate and avoid responsibility in a much more reckless way. I can purchase alcohol. But what now? I'm not 18 anymore and as the months turn over I wonder if I'll ever be a responsible member of society.

But honestly? Fuck it. It concerns me, but I know I'm still young and in the words of blink 182 "...many years ahead to fall in line". Wise, wise words.

Peace out, yo!
Sincerely, a less than legit adult.
