So, why do people grow up anyway, and what dictates the beginning of the process? Many people think once one is grown up, then the process ends, and it does in a way…
In my opinion, well, I say the process starts. The journey that comes after being grown up is like seeing everything for the first time, and doing everything for the first time. It is like entering a new world, the grown up world, as we called it when we were young at least. The difference is obvious of coarse! The secret is in being able to track of oneself. For one to keep track of oneself one must first “find” oneself. This is the part where the journey begins. Can this be part of the problem? Why teenagers try to find themselves. Maybe for them it’s the thought of someone else doing his or her stuff, someone planning out their lives. For twenty something years someone has planed out everyday of our lives. Doctor appointments, school registrations, cloth shopping, laundry, etc. they schedule it all, when someone else does our stuff and plans our lives, to the point of being us, it causes identity problems, and it creates the question of “who am I?” prematurely. I say prematurely, because a child should be cared for and protected by their parents, but in the process of growing up they should be let go of little by little as well. Sometimes parents just let go all the way instead, once the child has reached a certain age. The change that happens in a day is huge, today, parents; they call in and make an appointment. Tomorrow, you are the one who talks to the receptionist. Trying to talk that is! Scared beyond comparison. How can a phone call scare someone so much! Maybe it is because all of the questions they ask about oneself, well, we have no idea what the answer is…
