As you may know, I graduated from college seven weeks ago. I started a new job five weeks ago. I turned twenty two three weeks ago. I signed the lease on a new apartment two weeks ago. I said goodbye to a very loved friend one week ago. And today, it hit me.

I am an adult. This is the start of the rest of my life.

In seven weeks I not only opened a new chapter in my own fairy tale, I have narrated a good couple pages. I transitioned from a child to a full-fledged, fully functioning (magic-loving) adult.

Here's to the end of an era.
