I turn 23 next week and, although I physically resemble an adult, I often feel much younger on the inside.
When I was a teenager, I assumed that when I turned twenty, I would miraculously transform into a fully functioning adult, equipped with the ability to make logical decisions and do taxes. I soon discovered that this was not the case.
I’ve been finding adult life quite confusing so I started to draw cartoons about it for anyone else who feels stranded between adolescence and adulthood.
