on aging

Daily writing promptWhat’s a moment when you realized you were officially an adult?View all responses Yesterday’s Daily Prompt from WP.com community was an interesting topic. So I decided to participate and give my little opinion on this. Adulting for me happened when I had to be the responsible person for a person other than myself. In my entire life I have faced lots of issues alone, phisically and emotionally. Then at a certain point came into my life my girlfriend, which today is my wife. With her I go stronger and more confident in my strength. Then life begun hitting hard. Really hard. My happiness, my health, were no more my problem but our problem. And when my son came to life we had another big punch in our lifes… we almost lost him. We had to fight. I had to fight harder than ever, in ways I never thought possible. Since then living is no more a private matter, it hits my wife and my son. Being responsible for them makes me feel like an adult.
