Daily writing prompt
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
I will never forget the moment I truly grew up. I was 23, standing at the airport with three bags that held everything I owned, ready to start a new life across the world. As I waved goodbye to my family and saw my mother’s tears, it hit me that I wasn’t just leaving home, I was leaving behind my childhood, my comfort, and the version of me who never had to worry about bills, cooking, or survival. For the first time, I understood that growing up is not about age or independence, it is about stepping into the unknown, terrified yet determined, and realizing that your life is finally, completely your own.
