When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

My first cold living with a roommate hit me like a bullet. Not a soul really cared if I was ok. I had to pick myself up and drive to the store and buy medicine. This is twenty years before the pandemic but it felt like I was done for. I must of had a 103 fever and crawled out of bed into clothes. By the time I got out of the car I was covered in swet. To this day I think about that feeling.
I knew I was in full adult and I kind of hated it but knew I couldn’t go back.
It all worked out but a big wake up call.
