Discovery!?

I am 26 years old and I feel like I've just discovered myself!! I was standing in my mother's dining area after helping re-arranging some of her furniture. As I stood there this overwhelming feeling of self-assurance and intelligence overtook me! Yeah, sounds stupid but, it's the first time in my life that I've felt a feeling of confidence and worth around my mother. Growing up, there was never a time that my mom's advice went unsolicited. I couldn't think for myself. But, as I helped her to re-arrange her furniture and she accepted my idea as a good one I "realized" myself. I have secretly been developing into a competent adult. WOW, what a first....
