I am an adult too...

Ever feel like you will never grow up in some people's eyes? It's a frustrating feeling isn't it?

I am 25 but still feel like most see me as 17 or so, which in turn makes me feel like I am still a kid. I am not saying I want to grow up too fast or have everyone see me as this super mature, all business adult but I would like some respect. I figured it would be the kids, you know the teens and pre-teens, that would have a hard time seeing me as an adult and showing me respect but it's not... It's the other "adults".

It's hard growing up around the same people that knew you as a child. Holding a professional job around them is also sort of difficult... What Fo I have to do to gain their respect? It's not every adult, some of them even have to remind me that I am an adult when I am feeling down on myself, but there are a lot. It's the ones that I thought had my back and were pulling for me, they are the ones that have let me down.

I don't just fly by the seat of my pants, I do sometimes make quick decisions when I see a great opportunity but they aren't immature decisions. I just wish they would believe in me, ya know? Just trust me don't brush me off or pick apart what I am trying to do...

This is a note to myself: remember to respect those younger than me and remember, they are growing up too and won't always be children.

Believe in me. Don't scold me.
