Doing some drawings based on lots of thoughts I'm having lately. This one follows a thought train of what it means to be an adult, in a social way. I am very much an adult, but I don't feel like one.

I don't have many of the cultural attributes of adulthood. I don't participate in the rites of passage of adults, and frankly I don't find much of it enjoyable.

People tend to think I'm a teenager until told otherwise. And they talk down to me, as if I can't understand basic concepts. I worry it's because I haven't forced myself to step into that world, and I don't know if I could live comfortably if I did that even if it changed the way people treated me.

What does it really mean to really be an adult in this society? Just because someone enjoys "childish" things because it makes them happy, does that lower their respectability? Their age status? The way you view them and their actions?

Probably. Dunno.
