Growing up.
This is and always will be an on-going conversation, not only with others but with ourselves.
We’ve all had this moment of realization in our lives from either a situation we’re going through or went through, a certain time period in our life, or simply having an euphony one morning and thinking to yourself, it’s time to grow up. Am I right? I would hope this thought came sooner rather than later in life. I found this quote by Daniel black and he says, “Sometimes you have to grow up before you appreciate how you grew up.” I thought to myself after reading that how accurate and almost perfect it is. When I think about the term “Growing up” I don’t think of it as the literal term, I think of it as that moment in your life when someone starts to realize what they need to start thinking about to benefit them in the future. This thought came to me around my last year in high school.
I never thought time could go by as fast as it does, and what’s scary is that time goes by faster as you get older. When I graduated high school I had a new perspective on life. Shouldn’t everyone? I had to think about going off to college, getting a job, and thinking about my future and what I wanted to do in life. Talk about pressure. That’s when I thought to myself well, this is growing up and it’s just begun.
When I think about growing up and the lessons life throws at us I also think of it as developing maturity. It’s true, isn’t it? All the thoughts and plans we go through show how mature we all are. This time in my life, I’m a college student about to graduate; I have two jobs, and have plans for my future you could say I’m on some level of maturity. That’s growing up.

This blog post was just my little insight on how I was feeling on this particular day and that I think about this term growing up every day. Even when I’m a grown up I’m still growing up.
