Growing Up

Some of us grow up faster than others.
Some of us have to grow up faster than others.
Some of us grow up faster in some ways and not in others.
Some of us never grow up at all.

They all suck some point along the line.
I would hate to be the last one though.

And despite what anyone says, there is a huge difference between being 21 and 20.
I witnessed it tonight, and it made me sad.
Of course age isn't the only contribution.

Tonight I stood in a room with friends and I was the only sober one with responsibilities and worries on my mind i.e. work, family, dog, finances.
Only my best friend seemed to notice and she waited with me until my ride came to pick me up.

Conclusion?
Growing up sucks, but it's better than not growing up at all.
Also best friends make everything a little bit better.
