Born Grown

What’s a moment when you realized you were officially an adult?

When I was in 3rd grade and realized I was the only kid with his own apartment, a stripper girlfriend, and a mustache.

I left home for the first time when I was 4 years old.

I’m a Freeborn man.

  1. That humor is arm-or the mustache detail hits different when you understand what it means: independence forced early, growing up in a third-grade classroom while living like an adult already. “Born Grown” says it perfectly. Freedom and loss wrapped in the same package. 💙
