Signs of adulting

From being a baby to an old person, this is the cycle for people. If ever you go to a cemetery, you will see tombstones with different dates which determines the age of the person when he died. There are new born, old age, teenagers, and other different ages. It only shows that no one can actually tell when a person will be taken away. No one can tell so all of you must always be prepared everyday. Living it as if it's your last day to live.

Life is a precious gift lent to people to use it for good. No one knows the final destination after a person is judged but there are only two places to go to, which are heaven or hell. It doesn't matter whether you believe in it or not and not because you don't believe in it, it means that it isn't true.

A child will often cry to get what he wants while an adult will cry to forget what he wants. It's ironic how children wanted to grow old as fast as they can so they'll have the freedom or they can already reach the expectations they set for themselves. But in reality, life isn't as easy as it seems.

Many dreams are shattered due to the slap of the reality that life was never easy. You have to strive and work hard for everything that you have. As an adult, there are plenty of things which are not taught at school yet, you have to learn it by yourself.

SIGNS OF ADULTING

1. Bills

You are not an adult if you have no bills to pay. It can be water bill, electric bill, internet bill, Netflix subscription, cable subscription, insurance, HMO, house rent, food, and a lot more. You will also come to a point where your money is not yet in your pocket yet you already computed all the expenses and it turns out to be negative. You always have something to pay for every cut off.

1. Frustrations

You will have lots and lots of these, as well as disappointments. You will know how it feels to not have the money to buy the things you want and even the things that you need. Your money will just pass through your hand like thin air. You will be mad at yourself or your situation thinking about the things you badly wanted to achieve and have.

1. Responsibilities

You might be the breadwinner of your family. You might be working everyday to pay debts, feed your family and support your siblings studies. You might be starving yourself just so you can lessen the expenses that you have. You might be the one to carry the responsibility which should be done by your parents. You can't enjoy your life because you have to make them enjoy theirs. Your dreams are set aside so they can reach theirs.

1. Stability

Everyone loves stability. Be it in a relationship, job, career, live life, and family. You might be wanting a new house and lot in a subdivision where you can live in peace and solitude. You want everything to be in place. You will lie in bed thinking about the future or wake up motivated but seeing your current situation makes you forget what you actually wanted. You just wanted a fat bank account then reality will remind you have cruel fate has been to you.

1. Regret

You will regret the chances you did not take. You will regret the decisions you made. You will cry at night thinking what wrong have you done. Then wake up in the morning and act as if everything's fine. Acting as if everything's the same as it has always been.

Life is a precious gift which we often forget living. You only have one life. How do you live it?
