I am so **** confused.
For so long I have avoided growing up and remained living life in the innocence of a dream world, full of adventure, fantasy and wonder. Now I’m in college and realtity finally hit me in the face. I was strolling down the street lost in my own little dance when a car behind me with words “adulthood” and “reality” sprayed painted on the side came speeding wildly in my direction. Before I knew it I was hit. I thought growing up should be a gradual thing but I guess since I had been avoiding it for so long, I never got to prepare. Now I am torn between the two.

It ain’t easy babe as the song says! Unfortunately, if we don’t grow up, life will make us grow up. The word, grow up, what does it mean? That is very hard to answer. To me, growing up means that you take full responsibility for your life. That means, if you fail, don’t blame anyone but yourself. So, start making goals and working hard to acheive them. That is the first step. But, when you fail, MUST IMPORTANT, don’t give up. Keep working hard to achieve your life’s goals….you will be just fine my friend..You are a winner and you will do good…Picked that up from your post…
Good luck!
Growing up means you know how to take down a license number when you get hit.
I’m still growning up and I’m 32. I don’t think I will ever be a “grown up”. I am always growing and learning. The only different between now and then is I don’t have parents to over-protect and shelter me.
Stars, well said…I’m 60 and it is debatable about my maturity on some days! lol…
well, we are all growing up evwery day, but no one is really fully grown. what i’m trying to say is, you are going to try to grow up, but there will always be that kid inside who wants to come out.
this doesnt matter how old are ya ,,, the only thing that matter is how much u have learned from this life …

sweet princess is so right. growing up dosen’t mean that you have to give up on the things that you like doing. growingi up is basicl… accepting what is right from wrong. just hang on in there, life will show you how to grow up.
Well my friend Tricky, I’ve learned a LOT, but just enough to know that I don’t know very much!
yeah i know ,, if u think u know everthing ,, u dont know nothing :D…
Yes, this when you become wise… When you lose your ego, that is the beginning of happiness! You learn not to expect anything, get any help, and don’t need “pats on the back!” You become self-sufficent in your daily routine. Then, you can laugh at anything…No one will ruin your day…
nice to talk with a wise person :) .. they are becoming very few ,, cause everybody is sooo into ppl ,,, ” oohhhh what will they say … ” when u dont give a **** about what ppl think about y and stuff …. everything is simple :)…
Lol..well, did not carry it that far my friend…just don’t allow them to control you…You care about what people think about you, but you don’t allow them to make you unhappy. We must keep our self-respect Tricky!
ppl in general talk to much :P so basicly they will say things about ya most of the time bad things ,, when u stop caring ,, u start caring less what they think about ya … u dont have to act out or wear a fake mask … this is who i’m who likes me and here who doenst .. get his as s out :P .. simple see :D …
Hey, whatever works my friend..have a good one!
:D u too my friend my best wishes for you too :)…
i refuse to grow up and i say life come on hit me with everything you have…im not doing it. Ill forever be young in my mind
Oh, young at heart Heather! Understood, so am I…I like to hop and holler…and have a blast…But, I always know where to draw the line and not go past the line. This is acting mature and responsible…
And, by all means, be young, act young, and have fun…love life and love to live it…
i think the mature thingy is get miss understood in my point of view mature = know what is wrong and what is right ,,, take decisions and know how will it effect ur life in the futur (somehow) ,, being responsible ,, ………
but hek everybody needs some times to just say i wana have fun :P it’s normal .. everybody needs to chil sometimes but not always :P …
this is for ” rock/my/soul ” i just wanted to say as much as u are honest with ur answers so am i :) so we have that in common :D… u cant run away from life , u have to face it …. my best wishes for all peace out :) ….
lol I’ve felt the same way but it’s gotta happen, it’s not as bad as it’s made up to be… just a little different :-p
Wow, I can most definitely relate, completely.
I actually feel the same as you, only I still have time since I’m a sophomore in high school… It’s just not much time…
