21. The world is suddenly all-access. I can go anywhere. I am completely and fully a legal adult. I'm excited, a bit terrified, but mostly glad to have made it. I've been waiting for this day for a long, long time.

People are wonderful, by the way. I've never had this outpouring of goodwishes and delight. Hooray!
