realized today
1. the line between childhood and adulthood isn't as clear as I had expected it would be
2. there is way more external (i.e. friendships, location, etc) continuity between childhood and adulthood than I thought there would be, and way less internal (i.e. definition of self) continuity between childhood and adulthood than I thought there would be.

Do you mean that losing childhood is not a straight line?
well, something like that. more specifically, I meant that 1) I thought becoming an adult would be more abrupt 2) that some of the external things in my life would have changed more than they have (i.e. I never imagined I'd still be friends with some of my childhood friends) and 3) the internal things about myself wouldn't have changed as much as they have (i.e. I think I'm a very different person now than I was as a kid).
