Unadulterated

Unadulterated

When do you start to feel like an adult?
What does it mean to be an adult?
Do you actually know?
Or is it just something you realise?
Or are we always the same inside, the same as the
child that skinned its knee on concrete at primary
school all those years ago?

I don't know. I don't feel like an adult at times,
especially when I am in a new context. And when I
become more familiar to a context, everyone else just
seems like a "non-adult" like me. A knowledgeable
experienced child. But not as dynamic as a child.

This is more apparent to me being around children.
Although I can patently see that they are cognitively
very different to present-day me, I still feel the
same as them at times.
