While I was growing up, i always envied adults. I use to think adults were always rich. I thought that an adult could buy any kind of toys and videos games because they're grown ups and they are always rich.
It got to a point that i wanted to be an adult so badly, I'd always imagine myself being an adult and living my close to the beach. I always thought adults had the best life.
When i was 15 years old, I'd tell myself a whole bunch of things I'd like to do when I become fully grown and became an adult. As at the time I was 15 years old, I'd tell myself i just have 5 more years to become an adult.
Life as an Adult
Now I'm all grown up and fully an adult, but guess what?
Adult life is a total opposite to what i thought or what i imagined. No one told me adult life was gonna be this difficult.
I always thought I'd automatically become rich when I become an adult ( i was just a young kid, without any knowledge of what the outside world feels like).
The first early stages of my adulthood was a mess. Then i was inexperienced, i thought everything would just fall into place. I didn't even make any progress to work and earn money, i was literally forced to do whatever i was told. My parents forced me to go to school. At first i thought sending me to school was just a way to deprive me of enjoying my adulthood....LOL 😅, i can't believe i was that dumb.
My parents sending me to school was because of the love they have for me aside that, they wanted to be become a better and responsible adult. I really miss my childhood, i wish i could turn back the hands of the clock and become a child again.
Being a child has more privileges than being an adult. A child has absolutely nothing to worry about. When i was a teenger, i barely has any problems, the only problems or worries i use to have was getting a new toy or a new pair of shoe. Then life was so good.
Life as an adult is not a funny one, responsibilities starts resting on your shoulders, personal bills to pay, house rent, unexpected expenses, thinking for other family members. This moment you're fine, the next moment you're sad, series of mood swings.
The frustration that comes with being broke is on another level. Being a broke adult is frustrating, nothing seems to make you happy when you realise that you have bills to sort out and you don't have money. I just hate being broke, i can't even stay without having money i could fall back to.
When I was still a young teenager, I'd save some money to buy a doll or a pair of shoes, even if my money isn't complete for wherever i was saving the money for, my mum would assist me with the completion of the money and in some occasions, she's end up buying what i was saving money for.
As an adult, if you decide to save some money, the next moment that money you saved is saving you. As an adult you must work. I mean it's compulsory for you to go to work every single . I don't know if I'm the only one who doesn't like going to work in some days.
Life as a child was so smooth, children have absolutely nothing to worry about. They don't even have to work, but three square meal is guaranteed for them. As an adult it's the total opposite, when you think about quitting your job, you also think about the responsibilities waiting for you to settle, you also think about food, because is essential.
I really wanna go back to being a child
Life as an adult is just crazy.

Hahaha 😀 I have in a lot of times wished I could go back to being a child where I don't need to worry about anything but for my needs to be provided. Being an adult is a whole lot of responsibilities, trust me, it hasn't been easy but God is doing His best.
Being an adult is really a big deal.

Adulthood looked enticing as a kid but now as an adult I wish for something else.
I wish for something else too.

By far the vast majority of us are not yet adults (emotionally). Becoming an adult requires nurturing the "inner child" and integrating unintegrated emotions.
The Presence Process is a ten week #emotionalintegration procedure which helps us to "grow up" by embracing full response-ability for our emotional condition.
