Today, I built a grill!
Well, not from scratch, and not without the assistance of one and half other human beings. But still!
Actually, I not only put it together, I found it, requested assistance in its transport to the front of the store, and then accepted yet more assistance from an entirely different person putting in into a car! It was all very exciting- especially for an item that I myself did not pay for and will never use.
It’s things like this, along with more mundane tasks like grocery shopping and mailing a package at the post office, that make me feel like a real person, specifically, an adult. They make me think: I can handle this world!, an attitude which I maintain quite steadfastly, until I try to do important things, like get a job ‘n shit.
