Adulthood

There is a moment in your life when you realize you've become an adult. This moment is not when you're responsible of your own stuff or when you get a job. This moment is when you help your parents ask you for help and I mean real help for important things.

This happened to me this past two weeks and it has given a whole new dimension to my relationship with my parents. Right now we talk like equals, they accept advise from me and I'm able to give it to them and my opinions are taken into account. And I understood that's what adulthood means, it means that you take care of your parents as they took care for you, that you listen to their problems as they used to listen to yours. And even if it's a lot of responsibility it does feel good.
