Biggest let down when you became an adult

Eric Cartman

I thought people would still go to mad raves and nightclubs and that my 20s would be like human traffic. Instead its all high prices, pretentious hipsters, fake tan and really shít indy/pop music in every club you go to

I can remember being around 8 or 9 years of age and my friend quite suddenly set our toy cars aside. There we sat on the carpet in his front living room. He embraced me in a fixated stare for a matter of moments, before not so much as asking, inquiring or telling but merely informing me of the cold harsh reality that..."we will never be grown ups". I'll never forget the look of shock and hopelessness in his face as he told me this.

I quickly uttered, "don't be fooking stupid" in dismay at his idiocy. I knew at the time that someday I would be an adult but to him the notion was so distant and far removed from all he knew that he continued to press the issue further. I can't remember his next exact words but he did say it will never come.

It did come, as a matter of fact it was a blink of an eye in which it came. For me anyway, he died in his teens so I guess he was right. To answer the OP the biggest let down for me hasn't happened yet. I'm now the adult that little boy never got to be. But being an adult means I have the next 40, 50 or so years to be whatever it is I want to be. Sure my life is complete and utter sh!t now but there's nothing to say I can't change that. I'am sure of one thing however, the whole thing will be over in a blink of an eye.
