Ten pounds

I've always been a very thin person (much to many friends' dismay), and never had a reason to complain. I've been lucky enough to have a ridiculous metabolism, so I've never worried about what I eat.

Now though, for the first time since high school, I have gained weight.* This started a few months ago where I noticed randomly that I gained five pounds and just recently that has jumped to ten pounds more.

I wonder if this is the signal that I finally, after 33 years, have grown up. Maybe my ridiculous puberty-filled metabolism has finally ended, and no longer will I be dealing with all those teenage issues. Perhaps now my voice will also stop cracking.

* Excluding the semester I spent in Rome in college, where I gained fifteen pounds.
