1.The room gets messy so quickly
2.Electric bills are surprisingly high
3.Don’t order the large size
4.These are the things I learned as I grew up5.
6.I upset people sometimes
7.I tell lies to protect myself
8.I can’t always rely on others
9.I still haven’t fully grown up10.
11.What does it mean to be a “real adult”?
12.When does it start?
13.And when does it end?14.
15.Please, always, always stay the way you are
16.Even if we think we won’t change
17.People inevitably do
18.Please, always, always let me stay the way I am
19.I may not be a great person
20.But I want to live pretending to be one21.
22.Watching other people’s moods
23.Placing an aroma diffuser in my room
24.Adding egg toppings to my meal—
25.These are things I started doing as an adult26.
27.Raising my hand at crosswalks
28.Jumping into puddles without a second thought
29.Trusting people from the depths of my heart—
30.These are things I stopped doing as I grew up31.
32.Please, let me blame everything, everything on someone else
33.And escape
34.Far away
35.Please, don’t blame everything, everything on yourself
36.It’s okay
37.To be a little mean sometimes38.
39.At twenty, I can count my years on my fingers and toes
40.They say it means to “fulfill.”
41.I still have my left pinky toe left
42.But I guess I’m about to fulfill it soon43.
44.If I could stay a child forever
45.Would I never reach my limit
46.And just keep on living?
47.But surely, surely, if it’s you and me
48.Even if we turn twenty
49.We won’t ever reach an end50.
51.Please, always, always stay the way you are
52.It’s okay to change
53.As long as you’re still you
54.Please, always, always let me stay the way I am
55.I may not be a great person
56.And sometimes I’m mean
57.But I want to become something to someone—
58.That kind of person
