I don't want to become an adult, I want to be a child and live a child's easy life. Adults are always so serious about everything, don't they know how to have fun? I don't feel that I belong to adults' world yet, even though I'm almost adult. I'm just a kid who's trying to learn how to live in this universe, trying to understand everything, trying to see and realise.
I think in today's world kids have to grow up too early, they aren't given the chance to ge kids, to play, do what kids are supposed to do. Everybody is expected to be something great from the very beginning, like kids should reach something big already when they're little. The world makes them old so quickly. Maybe they will be too stressed and become depressed like adults when they have too much things to do and they get pressure from around. I don't find that good or normal, don't we want healthy and happy people?
Teenage is the best age. Well, after all that shit of puberty. Then people should be doing everything awesome, make friends, fall in love, experience cool things, explore the world.
There's a lot of time to be an adult later.
Maybe everything depends on definition? You can be a 29 years old and still have your great imagination and love to do things spontaneously. I'm a grown-up, I'm living with my three flatmates and still having the best time of my life. Being teenager isn't always so glorious. Yes you can be "stupid" and do thing which you may regret and still be forgiven. But when you are "an adult" you can do what ever you like.
ReplyDeleteI might be exaggerating but still you have an extraordinary freedom when you have your own space, your own home, your own decisions. Like when I was living in my mother's place, I just had to get used to her rules and her lifestyle. Now I can order my life as I want it to be.
But definitions. An adult, this word doesn't mean to me normal life, lots of babies, bills, worries etc. That's just one way, which, I think, society "gives" to us. You can have something else. I'm twenty and I have no idea where I'm going to be in next five years. I just know that I don't have kids, I don't have a detached house, or if I have, it's like I have it now, I share a 100 years old detached house with my "unusual" flatmates, those who are almost 30 years old and still studying and doing what ever they like.
So don't be afraid of getting older. It won't be anything hard, if you don't want to! Or if you don't do that to yourself. :---)
Yes you're right. You can be what you want and do what you want, nobody is giving you rules or telling to go to bed, you have that kind of freedom. Teenage is full of bitter things and hurts, then you do stupid things without thinking and you end up being in trouble. But well, isn't it the same with adults actually...
DeleteFor different people being an adult means different things, of course. You are able to decide what way you want to live your life, it's mostly up to your own choices.
In a way I'm afraid to grow old, because I don't know what is waiting for me and I can't ever be completely ready for it. When I'm an adult, I'm alone making my decisons, now I can make some of them myself but parents and other adults are always taking care and they notice if I'm going to make a mistake. Surely I won't be totally alone in adulthood but I have a complete resposibilty of myself and my things. What if I do something wrong? What if I'm not able to do everything I'm supposed to? How will I survive?
But yes, I still understand you. It's so different to be a 5 years old than 25 years old. Of course. But still I hated being 5 years. Then my life was so controlled and I didn't like it. So you lose something when you get older but you still get something, even better?
