Adulthood.

Like last month, I suddenly realized that I feel like an adult, and that I can hold my own in any social situation and am looked to by people of all ages as a peer.

I think it's my professionalizing through becoming a tutor, and also an early 30s thing, where I know people in all walks of life and people like investment bankers and lawyers and doctors aren't something of older cohorts, but are my peers.

I also feel like I can handle most life situations responsibly and independently.

I don't know what it is, but I feel like I just walk around with confidence and no fear, every moment of every day.

I bet that makes me even more scary intense.
