Adults

For the first time in my life i can see the benefits of growing up
of being an adult.
When you are being an adult no one yells.
When you are being an adult you can say the things you know you have to say even though you know they will are going to hurt
and you can say them tactfully.
When you are being the adult you can put the past in the past and finally have a real conversation about things that matter with someone you haven't been able to even think about without feeling your stomach give way for almost a year.
When you are being the adult people are proud of you.
People look up to you.
People don't have to tell you that you are horrible because you know when you are and when you aren't.
When you are being an adult you can look past things most of the time
and even when you can't, you can control your temper.
When you are being an adult other people act like adults too.
When you are being an adult it's easier to hold your faith.
When you are being an adult your parents become your best friends
and your best friends while mattering more, effect you less.
When you are being an adult losing and winning isn't strategic anymore
It's just a part of life.
When you are being an adult it doesn't matter that what's is so important right now in your life is sitting 34th chair in the orchestras of the other people involved.
When you are being an adult it's easier to tune out the children all around you.
Even when they are constantly crying from the crib right next to you.
