To most of us, adulthood means being able to earn a living, possess a home, get married and rear children, and this implies having autonomy or control over one's life. In the 19th century, becoming an adult was celebrated as a liberation from paternal authority. Today we regard it more as a time of regret and stagnation.

I have grown up alone. I've taken care of myself. I worked, earned money and was independent at 18.

As I get older I'm more and more comfortable being alone.

As far I'm concerned, being an adult is way more fun than being a kid. But then I was a kid who wanted to be an adult. I'd watch shows like 'Bewitched' and see Darren come home and mix a martini and I'd go, 'That looks awesome! I want to do that!'

Being an adult comes with a whole new set of issues.

When you're kept out of the adult world, it's a blessing in disguise.

Talking, it seemed to me, was the point of adult existence.

I think the word is adult!
