This Drabble Day Challenge was tougher than last week. But given a little time, I came up with one. It went in a different direction than I planned, but I think the result is better. Today's prompt: “creative analogy”
All Grown Up.
I finally made it through my first year of college. Yeah!
As I reacclimated to my parents’ house, I realized how I thought of it. Not as my house anymore. I was just visiting. Like a sojourner on an extended stay at a hostel. I was on vacation from my real life where I took care of myself.
They even treated me like a guest. No curfew, no real rules, no chores. I pitched in voluntarily. We shared meals and had in depth conversations about the world and the future. They respected me and my opinions.
The feeling was mutual.

So grown up! ;) Nicely done, Tara.
Thanks, Ryan. Wasn't sure if it was a strong enough analogy.
Ah, I liked this one, it's like a wary introduction to adult life :)
Thank you, Lectin. I appreciate the comment =)
It's a light analogy but an analogy still. Don't worry! ;)
I agree that the prompt was harder that week.
I like what you did with it. The first time I went back to my parents' house after moving out, a similar image hit me. Same when I had to spend a couple of months there while my apartment got fixed.
