Yes, yes... we are what we do.
Whammawhamboo... hmmm, I don't know if I agree with your evolving definition of adulthood... you seem to be using experience in the place of maturity. Maturity can exist without experience. Experience simply gives you perspective on how you'll act/feel the next time. Increases "oh shit" reaction times. An emotional high fiber diet.
Is adulthood a lifelong achievement? Like education? Hey, I learn something every day... but not too many people feel that my time in Iraq / A-stan was educational.
It was an experience.
We aren't adults because we're ready for things... we're adults because we acknowledge our weaknesses or failures, we're adults because we accept our limitations and still get up in the morning and go off to work with a reasonable amount of "Aah, that's life for ya!" on our coffee-stained HUDs. Adults = true doers, go-getters, thinkers.
Emo kids are not adults!
