never gonna grow up

It's pretty hard to define when someone "grows up", but you can always kind of tell when it happens, of events or maybe it is a couple major things in your life that lead you to become a grown up. For me I have always been told that I was so mature, and with that I assumed that I was always already grown up. I was wrong. Just the other day someone told me that I ha really grown up and you could tell. It was at my trainers. I was doing my workout like a usual day, but recently I have learned that you get what you put into everything. If you work hard, you earn more; if you put in effort, it takes less time. It's all about taking things into perspective and learning what is important to you and managing your time so you are able to do those things. Growing up isn't a birthday, it isn't an immediate occurance, it's not a growth spurt, or a grade change. It is learning who you are and being comfortable with that person. It is when you learn not to sweat the small stuff. When a mountainous problem becomes an adventure. Growing up is fun and crazy and the best time of your life. Growing up is scary though, facing adult problems. You are burdened with all the trust everyone has with you, your dedication to follow through. Growing up is about living, learning, and finding out how to do things on your own, it's learning the value of money, getting a job, saving, splurging. Growing up can be falling in love. When you finally learn what it means to be in love, when you are willing to put someone elses needs in front of your own. It's caring for someone so much that you desire their happiness so badly, that you actually put it in front of your own. The thing about growing up is that it happens differently for everyone, and it has it's ups and downs along the way, your personal experience is what leads you to your later decisions and views in life. So as fast as life goes, enjoy the chaos, embrace it. You really don't ever know what you have until it is gone.
