When do you realize you've grown?

Do you know what is the most painful moment in human life? The moment you realize that you've grown up - no, that's not the most accurate statement - that you're a full grown up...

This is such a moment that; When you have a problem, you realize that you can run to your mother or father and hug them in their warm arms and relax, that they cannot find a solution to your problem, that they cannot cure your problem, you feel with all its intensity. Moreover, this moment of awakening is as sudden and striking as when an apple fell on Newton's head or Archimedes jumped out excitedly when he saw the bowl floating on the water in the bath.

You just haven't made a big enough discovery or invention to change human history. Yours is just a simple fact that every human being realizes at some point in his life and has to realize.

In fact, you have known this for many years, but you have hidden it even from yourself. You needed that absolute sense of security and refuge. No matter how big you got, you weren't strong enough. You always wanted someone to keep protecting you, taking care of you, thinking the best for you.

But no matter how much you try to delay, that moment of enlightenment is inevitable. It's just that some live earlier, some much later. From that moment on, the sky is never as blue as before, the grass is never as green as before, people are never as innocent as before. It is as if a strange gray tulle curtain has come and descended on your eyes.

You feel as naked and vulnerable as when you came out of the womb. And all alone... It's time to accept some things. Now is your day to raise children, cure troubles and stretch your arms. You have to be strong for yourself and for those who trust you.

You have no right to cry and complain, you will come to you and comfort those who cry and guide them. This is what suddenly feels like a burden too heavy for a person to lift. Maybe your parents are still alive, they still comfort you with nice words in your troubled moments, but their help does not go beyond that.

They brought you up and put you on your own feet, equipping you to fight the innumerable challenges that you will encounter on the thorny paths of life. And that was the best thing they could do for you.

The rest of that is now up to you. You against the whole world. You are alone.Moreover, the age of your parents is constantly advancing. Small diseases started to appear, maybe they have high blood pressure, maybe sugar. They can't read newspapers without close glasses, they can't even see the keys of the phone. Who knows, maybe they even had an operation.

They started to lose their morale and think about death more often. Now time is reversed. You grow old, they become children. Now is the time for you to listen to them, encourage them, find solutions to their problems and pay off your debt. You have to be strong for yourself, your children and for them.

Come on, you have faced the bitter truth, now stand up straight and continue to move forward with determination. Remember this is the law of nature: Every being has a life period. Even the sun first rises, then rises to the top, and then sets. Now is your peak. Embrace the setting suns with all your tenderness. Stop whining and whining and cure your troubles. However, it will destroy the loneliness you feel.
