The beginning of the middle

Okay, it's time to start slouching away from Neverland.

I've spent a long time helplessly watching my childhood slip away. But it's time to concede: I'm not getting any younger, and it's important to age with grace and dignity. So I'm going to try to grow up as best I can. It'll be slow going, I can tell you that right now. I'm not promising any big revelations or awe-inspiring moments of wisdom and maturity. I'm just going to track my progress and try to make sense of what it means to be a young adult.

In four months, I'll be in my mid-twenties. That's pretty big, guys.
