When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

7 years ago we had just moved to Norway but my husband had to go back to sell our house & pack up our belongings.

I was left by myself for 4 months, where I had to pay the rent & manage my own money. It was very stressful in the beginning.

I also had full responsibility for the four legged creature. Who immediately began stress puking at night after my husband left.

The sun had just returned up North so that was a plus. But being on my own was hard. I’d go visit my grandmother whenever I could. I also made friends with her friends & they began checking in on me. That made loneliness much easier to bear.

I’m proud of myself as I managed to do it & it really made me feel like a grown up for the first time in my life.
