I'm already grown up. The best thing is getting to know oneself, and be able to improve. It can only be achieved through experience (aka "errors"). Use your experience to tune yourself!
How do you feel about growing up (in age)?

I'm definitely growing up - when I get out of bed or a chair, my body seems to make alot of noise, but, my brain hasn't received the memo yet...it still operates as a 20 something so does my energy level. Dating is much harder for me as the men who are obtainable for me are so fucking boring to me!
But, I also seem to care much less of what others think of me...and that part of being older is WONDERFUL!!

Hate it when people tell me to "grow up", whenever I do sth. that is considered childish, equating it with unserious. So I ask: Why so serious? Who defines what behavior counts as "adult" & what doesn't? One should be free to act silly whenever (in a harmless way ofc).
Many people were the happiest when they were kids, so might as well keep the attitude, if nothing else

Happy, yet sad at the same time. How about you, OP?

Well, I think that I still look as if I was 14yo so...

Sucks ass. All of the responsibility while also being too busy or tired to enjoy the benefits.

I think I am in an in between period. On the one hand, I've wanted to be older and become more mature and responsible. Graduate, get a job, get my own place to live, get married, start a family. I'm starting to get to the point though where my growing age feels less positive, because now it comes with regrets of things I haven't accomplished yet.
