Growing up. Its a concept that takes years to reach the beginning of the process. It is difficult to understand. Growing up is also something no one clearly understands, yet everyone believes in it. Growing up is something we all experience eventually.
At the current moment, I am at the mall. I am sitting on an long, brown and black, ugly looking bench between the Idaho camera and sunglasses hut stores. I am eating my original pretzels bitz with some water to go with it. Oh, did I mention that i am alone? Now let me tell you something, going shopping by yourself may be awkward at times, and maybe a little boring, but its not half bad. You get to decide where to go, buy what you want, and take however long you choose. However, you spend your own money that you worked hard for. But, I think that's a good thing. It allows you to buy only whats needed, really loved, and you usually will take the best care of what you bought. And its all part of growing up.
What else is a part of growing up? Well, as an 18 year old, my college career is near, and beginning in a week and two days. Its an exciting new adventure...but a scary one at that. One by one my best friends, those who I have spent all my time with for four or more years, are leaving for their own college adventures. Its hard. Its difficult. Its sad. It is also wonderful. Why, you may ask? Well, we are all stepping out of our comfort zone. Were starting those years that people look back on the most. Its the years that determine the rest of your life. How can you not be excited for that?
Growing up, means trying to figure out who you are, and what you want to be. I know what I love to do, but career wise...I am at a loss. I have no idea. I have looked and looked for careers for years, and I just unsatisfied. The world takes life, and careers, and money in a direction that seems unpleasant. (keep a look out for a video based on that sentience). Although it makes me terrified, I am glad that I have time, and that I will always have time, and people behind me. Growing up means one thing to me. It means living your life for you, and nobody else. It is learning to be yourself, love yourself, and doing what you love. Forget the costs. The only thing you should be worried about while growing up, is being unhappy. Never be unhappy. Be satisfied.
