it feels so weird to suddenly, be aknowledged and treated as an adult. by the adults. And you won't know what i'm talking about unless you've lived it. Cause it's very different when one day they SAY "well, she isn't a kid, she's an adult already" and then the next day they TALK to you as to an adult and act around you accordingly.
It's flattering and very thought-provoking. Maybe it was indeed a vicious circle and I'm glad i broke it off.
