This was a really well written post. It echoed so much of what I feel and I am sure what other people in the mid/late twenties age bracket feel, so know that you're not alone in this not quite feeling like an adult mentality (as well as the somewhat irksome biological clock tickage).

Last year I got tired of a dull job with no joy, quit that and moved to another city. I'm still working out the issues, it's been a long year in many ways, but I have to say I love what I am doing now. It was always a dream to do it and even though I don't quite have the full time job yet, and I had to go back to school to get a grad degree, I know it will be well worth it because I really enjoy going to work and doing what I do.

And I would definitely say I am lucky. But only because I took a big risk and luck was on my side and it paid off. It could have gone the other way where nothing worked out.

But I'll quote Homer Simpson anyways: "Stupid risks are what make life worth living."

It's very cool that you love what you do and that you had the guts to take big risks. And it's always good to draw from the Simpsons for advice! For instance, how else would we know that "Money can be exchanged for goods and services!"

Great post! I felt like an adult when I lived on my own for the first time. I also felt like an adult today when I sat down and discussed pensions and mortgages! Jaysus! I did however feel like an adult recently when I realised that I didn't want to be in an accidental career that I half liked when I knew what I truly wanted to do. I think you're fab - I'm sure the kiddies will be next Joking!
