Grown Ups

When we were kids, all we wanted to do was grow up. Growing up would make our lives better, we could do whatever we want, be whoever we want and there would be nobody stopping us. At least, that is what we thought growing up meant. But the thing is, once we actually cross our twenties where we are done our education and we have jobs, a few months past we realize are we really happy? Of course, some people might be actually happy with their jobs and living alone but most of the people, deeply inside, are sad. With growing up come a lot of responsibilities, of course if you are rich, you can ignore them but even if you are rich growing up isn't what you thought it would. Remember, you thought you could do whatever you want or be whoever you want. Absolutely not! People around you won't let you do that. People are more interested and interfering in another people's life than they are in their own. They will be watching your every move, judging you based on that and call you out for stupid things. Be it your relatives, your bosses, your colleagues, your friends or your acquaintances, they will be calling you out for things you probably never even did or will be forever interfering in your personal life. Note that, you have no personal lives when you grow up. Your personal life is everybody else's business more than your own.

When we were kids, we were actually doing whatever we want. We didn't care about the judgement we will get. We were free minded, not having much care of the outside world. We could talk to whoever we wanted to and whatever we wanted to. Now, we just to make complicated physics equations in our mind before we decide who to speak to and what to speak to because we know people will judge us even if we are nice to them and they would probably point out things that did not even happen. Apart from that, moving out of our home when we grow up is quite fun. Isn't it? You can keep your place untidy, go out whenever you want, eat whatever you want and what not. Of course you will be coming to an empty place when you return from work with no one waiting for you and not to forget, not to forget that you will be wanting to be in bed by 9 because you have no energy left after a tedious day at work and also the low metabolism you have, preventing you from even breathing around carbs. Fun!

Growing up isn't easy, it will never be. All of us are just beating up our child mind that thought growing up is fun. We are just trying to act like grownups with a child trapped inside us who wants to just be a child again- no responsibilities, no pressure, no judgement. We wish it could happen, but it won't.
