Mom said no

I just realized this yesterday: Pretty much everything I buy is based on what my mom wouldn't buy me when I was a kid. Not to diss my mom. She's great. But she denied me like most moms would. I can definitely say that it helped shape who I am today. Since I'm still that same 6-year-old kid in a 23-year-old's body (and 45-year-old's clothes), I bought some cookies from the food store yesterday. But in addition to the cookies, I got a few boxes of fruit snacks and a package of those pumpkin-shaped candies that have the same consistency as candy corn. These are things that my mom would've said no to. And that's part of the reason I bought them. I'm in a phase in my life where I'm doing everything I couldn't do when I was a kid. I'm buying candy, playing video games, staying up late [not anymore], etc. I wonder when this phase will end? When will I become a real grownup? #psychology
