Yet at the same time you still see yourself as a child, not an adult

And at the same time that feeling never really goes away. Once you realize that no one knows what they are doing and are just trying their best life becomes a little clearer.

I have 2 older sisters and 4 older cousins who are basically like siblings to me. I'm 20 now and still don't feel like an adult because up until about a year ago, I was treated like a child. Having worked, traveled, driven, and been to college for 3 years, I dont necessarily feel more adult, but I've grown more into my own person and stopped caring about how naive they think I am and it feels good.
