The best part about turning 20, that age when you're not questioning your adulthood too often, is that you don't have to be worried about things ruining your childhood anymore. There's nothing that can happen to you that can't be cured with a few prayers, some therapy or tubs of ice cream. There’s nothing to guard and protect anymore.
Not that we stop evolving or changing and events in our adult life don't affect us but considering the kind of sacredness we're lead to believe childhood holds, that every dent leads to multiple more, I'm almost glad its over and I made it through with only a few cuts and bruises and nothing drastic.
My skin is now well-worn, the intense vulnerabilities don't exist and not many things mean the end of the world. My name is Deborah and MC Hammer wrote a song about me. Booyeah.
