That may sound silly, but to me it&#8217;s dreadfully serious. I&#8217;ve spent some time at my family&#8217;s home for the holidays, and every morning I woke up in a state of emotional confusion. I open my eyes and something feels wrong; I feel like I&#8217;m not supposed to be in my childhood bed. My body&#8217;s first reaction is to feel discomfort, to say, &#8220;you don&#8217;t belong here anymore.&#8221; Of course, I love my childhood bedroom and find it to be comforting, yet there&#8217;s this tiny voice in my brain that&#8217;s creating some distance between who I am today and who I was growing up. It&#8217;s telling me that I&#8217;m an impersonator of the younger me. College is this odd time where we are given transition time between high school and adulthood, time to navigate what &#8220;adulting&#8221; means and who we truly are, and I think a lot of times that can cause some natural and necessary discomfort. Discomfort makes life more interesting, so it&#8217;s okay. Have a great week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think I&#8217;m starting to truly feel like an adult.
