A candle has been added to my cake and I am an year older. This year it is a little different. I am now an adult in legal terms! I turned 18. I can now vote, open my various accounts without this whole column of a guradian attached to it and elope with any guy I want to!

As I blew ou those candles, Nizzim Ezekiel's poem echoed in my head, 'Am i child or an adult?' Exactly, what is turning 18 all about? I am still trying to figure that out. Is it all the luxuries I would enjoy? Or more responsibilities on my head ? Can someone help me on that!

hey aksha.. nice thoughts.. being 18 is somethin i can't really identify with coz i'm not there yet.. but i think the only reason i'm waiting to get there is so i can drive (seems so hollow)!
18's sure gotta be a nice place to be in.. the crossroads.. the best of both worlds..
so you have a blast! make the most of your newfound freedom.. and also have a little taste of what it's like to be an adult!!
