I don't know, maybe it's happening right now? I think it will be easier to tell with a bit of hindsight later. Moving out of the parent's and figuring out how I spend my time certainly was (and still is) transformative. Things like deciding to sign up to a gym, or figuring out my "go to" recipes.

I actually had a weird grown up moment today having tea with my friend (that now lives in England and is visiting), at my apartment, on the patio we built with my boyfriend and his family. She was telling me how she stated making peanut butter and granola bars herself. And then started telling me how. The kind of conversations I used to find painstakingly boring as a kid and was wondering why can't grown ups talk about more interesting stuff than give each other tips on how to clean more efficiently. But I was interested! It felt weird. It felt kind of like the day I realized I don't like chocolate anymore.

I had a super grown-up moment when I bought a fridge. It's like looking forward to socks for Christmas x10.
