a grudging acknowledgement of adulthood

[kaberett]

I have been quietly realising, over the past few weeks, that having reached a stage in life where I find myself regularly thinking things like "gosh practising scales is so useful" and "well obviously one should learn the gender of the noun at the same time as the actual word" and, ruefully, "I wish I'd seen the point of this when I was thirteen, but of course I had important thirteen-year-old things to do, so it's no surprise that I didn't, really"... I am quite possibly, actually, a Grown-Up these days. It's somewhat disconcerting, but also, actually, it feels nice.

There do seem to be some upsides.

Being a grown up occasionally has perks, but it seems to have mostly come with responsibilities instead. Maybe when I get more grown up, the benefits will start arriving.

Truth.

How is it? I have no immediate plans to try it, but it never hurts to know.

Learning how to learn is pretty great :)
