...there’s no one there to take care of you.
I don’t mean that if I’m in trouble, there’s no where to turn. I don’t mean if I need help or guidance, there’s no one to consult. I don’t mean that when you grow up, you lose your family… because that certainly isn’t true.
I mean that there are lots of little things in life you have to do — go to the doctor, see the dentist, fill out your taxes on time, etc. As kids and teens, mommy and daddy help. If they don’t take you places and set up appointments for you, then they nag you until you take care of it yourself. However, when you grow up and move out, there’s no one to nag. You’re on your own.
I say this because today, I had a dentist appointment. Which I forgot all about.
That’s about when I realized I’m just way better at being a reckless, irresponsible adolescent. But being a kid is way more fun...
