I often get very nervous when my mind wanders to this topic.
The word itself sounds very “big”, and it is, representing a milestone that is the reaching of adulthood.
When I think of adulthood several words come to mind:
humdrum
boring
stressful
etc. etc. etc.
This idea of adulthood worries me. Adults seems to always have this intense look on their face. I often feel my head getting filled with scary thoughts of the future. Will I be successful? Will I ever find someone? Will my job be insane and too much for me too handle? The list goes on!
I feel like as humans age we lose that innocence and our sense of surreality (if that makes sense). That simple, childlike way of diving into everything slips from our thought process. We hesitate and that moment causes us to “regress.” The hesitance just grows as we age. We lose the childlike calm and develop a choking concern.
I wonder how adults do it.
Now, hear me out, a lot of this is personal generalization. I am just writing from experience as an ‘observer.’
Something to ponder really…
