The real turning point

Jump to Comments

When I was about 16, I always thought that adulthood starts when someone turns 22 or 23. When I did turn 23, I did not really feel any different. I worked with university students, I was at the beginning of my philosophy studies. I felt myself somewhere between child- and adulthood. I started to think that maybe my 30th birthday will be the big turning point.

Well, it was. I already had my first “serious” job, now I am currently looking for an other one, I have a fiancĂ©e, who also has a job. My sister has a baby, and I am an uncle. One of my friends just got married. And, at my birthday party at one of my favorite bars in town, I did feel that I evolved into somebody else.

The bar itself is really a great place. If you want to play pool in the city, it’s one of the best places. It has real quality tables, very good service, a non-smoking room, and pretty delicious sandwiches to eat. I held several parties here in the past, and it really excelled today, too. We had a lot of fun, and, after the main event, some of us stayed to play a few rounds of foosball. This was the first time in my life I could test my mettle in this game — well, at least our team with V. didn’t lose as spectacularly as it could.
