Growing up really is hard to do

Growing up your goal is the be an adult. You want to learn to drive, date, graduate and go out into the world hoping that you know exactly what to do. Everyone thinks that this is an easy road….. it isn’t. You have so many dreams that you may or may not fulfill. You might get caught up in drinking and drugs and your life spirals out of control before you can get a grasp on reality and life. You may end up with a baby that you love but might not be ready for or go into a marriage thinking that he or she is the one, only to find out that the only thing they are good at is cheating on you. Life is a hard place. But most people are going to go out, fight their way through, fall flat on their butts a good dozen times, settle down, maybe even finding the love of their life and having a couple of beautiful children. Sometimes life is hard but it is all a building block for that moment when you realize that have truly grown up.  It is that moment when you realize that you are content with life. You have a plan for the future and know what YOU want out of life. It can happen at any time. It might be after you hit rock bottom, after your college graduation, the day of wedding or just sitting in your living room one day. Growing up is never easy but in the end the peace of knowing life is good and no matter what, you have what you need to make it through anything thrown your way
