Tonight I made an uninterrupted series of mature decisions.

At various points in my life, I’ve wondered, “when is it you really feel like an adult?” 

I think I understand now.

It’s when you start to consider the consequences of your action.

It’s when you finally get that there will ALWAYS be unintentional ramifications for your decisions, and begin to take those into account.

It’s when you come to the conclusion that instant gratification isn’t always the best policy, and that “throwing caution to the wind” maybe isn’t such a great “strategy” after all.

It’s when you realize that your younger self would have done something entirely different, in fact, would have made the OPPOSITE choice.

And it’s when you understand that by making these decisions - which may not be as fun or as exciting in the moment - you’ll feel so much better in the morning. 

That’s when you’re an adult. 

Goodnight …
