Growing up we are confronted with challenges to face, more responsibility tends to weigh us down and often times than not, we are left to carry those weights ourselves. That's when we begin to think about our childhood days, times when we do not have to worry about anything, times when we sleep and our parents(moms especially) rock us and sing us lullabies till we sleep, times when all we had to do was wake up to meet breakfast, go to school and come back to meet lunch and then, dinner.
The times when we get injured and our parents are the ones to really worry in our stead.
Those times can be tempting enough, sometimes leaving us wishing to go back and be that little girl or boy with little or nothing to worry about.
But the truth is, we have to grow. Grow to find our essence, grow to know our purpose, grow to face problems and solve them, grow to learn and understand the concept of living and not just existing.
The benefits attached to growing up is more than having people to give us chocolates and sweets but by owning companies producing them. Growing up goes farther than having people hold our hands to jump over a pit, but by learning to do so with no one by our side. Growing up is more than waking up to find breakfast on our table but by rushing out to fend for ourselves and to survive.
Growing up is not about having people to speak for you, it's about finding your own voice and be heard even amidst thousand echoes.
There is benefit in growing up, and don't ever wish you were younger than you are now, the truth is, the things you know now, you don't know then. And that alone is enough to keep you going and panting to know more everyday, just by #growingup.
