    Don't wait to take on adult responsibilities - marriage, children, a career, home ownership - until you feel adult enough. Adulthood is just faking it through all that stuff until it becomes second nature.

        On your deathbed, you'll be happier saying "I successfully faked being a real adult for most of my life" than "I guess I never got around to it."

        Also having kids is a great excuse to sit on the ground with toys going "vroom vroom vroom."

        This is true because you phrased it as taking on the responsibilities instead of just "go for it!"
