Peaceandlove67 Article: 20th Birthday Speech

posted by Peaceandlove67

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and this might seem a bit premature, but my 20th birthday will be here before we know it. On March 1, I will be twenty. That's less than a महीना away.

I'll be honest. I'm not ready to be an adult. Starting March 1, I won't be a teenager anymore. I have less than a महीना as a teenager. I'll wake up on March 1, and I'll be an adult. I just don't feel ready. Of course, those who are already adults have told me that there's not much difference between nineteen and twenty. I mean, there's nothing I can do on March 1 that I can't do on February 28.

Feel free to send me a birthday message, wish me a Happy Birthday on my wall, या post a picture on my club on March 1. I'm not begging. It's up to you. आप can do all of the above if आप want. Again, I'm not begging. It's up to you. If you're already twenty या older, feel free to tell me what's it's like. Do आप feel like an adult? If so, when did आप start feeling like an adult?

Rubyrings The minute I woke up on my 20th birthday, I felt so strange. I realized I was an adult, and I wasn't ready to be an adult - pretty much exactly what you're describing here. Eventually I adjusted to it, but for the longest time, I still felt like I was 18 inside. (Except of course when I went to places that served alcohol, because you have to be at least 19 to order alcohol in Canada.) Good luck with the 20 milestone, and I hope you get something really spectacular for your birthday.

80smusiclover1 I hope the same thing. Don't worry, you're not alone. When I turned twenty last December, I didn't feel like an adult at all, especially since I look very young for my age.

BingoPB I wasn't ready to be an adult when I turned twenty. I actually didn't start feeling like an adult until I started shadowing at the veterinary clinic in my hometown. I did it when I was in high school, but I was a teenager then. Being an adult isn't so bad, Antonia. I can assure you that it's going to be okay.

ktichenor I hope you have a great birthday, too. Tbh I felt nothing when I turned 20, in fact I actually became an adult at sixteen cause that's when my mom started declining. So, I never had teen years but I learned that age really was just a number and that it was just more important to enjoy life and not really worry about how old you were getting. But I can understand that you're scared just remember to enjoy life and think of all the opportunities you'll be getting. And if it helps I'm 34 and a lot happier than I was at 19. :) But good luck!

yorkshire_rose I wish you a wonderful day too,Antonia.I think age is just a number really, as Kirsten says.I would just take each day as it comes,and enjoy it to the fullest,as life is too short for anything else.I like this quote "Life Is a Journey ...Not a Destination" That is so true.We learn at on lif'e's journey.I hope that your journey will be full of,happiness,joy and many blessings along the way, my dear friend 💕

Peaceandlove67 Thanks, everyone. Maybe being an adult won't be so scary after all.

I'm certainly not going to miss it." Paul said, "Me neither." The foursome had grown closer since Erin got shot. Paul was already close to Erin, but he became closer than ever to her after she had taken a bullet for him. When winter came, there was...

He's the one who got आप into this devil music." She said, "Paul didn't get me into it. I got into it on my own, and I highly doubt it's devil music, because it brought me and my फ्रेंड्स together, and...

"What the world needs now
Is some जवाब to our problems.
