In Transit From Here to There

In the movements from childhood to adulthood we are coached by everyone around us. Our parents try to protect us from the "evils" of the world and our siblings try to show us what the world is all about. And as we are moved through calm and wretched times we consider what they tell us. We decide whether people tell us what we want to hear or if they tell us the truth of the facts. And no one ever tells us when we cross the line between childhood and adulthood, we cross it and then realize it many years later that at some particular time we crossed the line and began another chapter in our own life.

That's a very deep and complex thought. When did you cross the line between childhood and adulthood? Did people tell you what they wanted you to know or the truth?
