Oh Grow Up

Sometimes I do some pretty immature things. Because sometimes being a grown-up sucks. You have to do work, and mostly, its not all that glamorous, it's just, well, work.

Being a grown-up means doing the right thing.
It means being self less.
Grown-ups spend their money wisely and give generously.
Grown-ups know who they are and what they believe, and they live it out in in the face of opposition.
Grown-ups take risks, and they do things that they're scared to do.
Grown-ups don't whine.
Grown-ups see others, really see them, and they are moved by compassion.
Grown-ups are disciplined; they don't eat half a cake at one sitting.
Grown-ups are discerning but not judgemental.
Grown-ups do the hard thing.
Grown-ups do what they say they're gonna do.
Grown-ups can be vulnerable, but know who to be vulnerable with.
Grown-ups know when to be a daughter and when to be a mother and when to be a friend.
Grown-ups forgive.

Sometimes I don't act all that grown-up.
