highly literary, with occasional grammar slips
what is growing up to me?ever since i got into a university, everybody has been telling me i've grown up, time will fly pass, i'm already an adult blah blah blah. i've been thinking of the
validity of their statements and sadly,
i do not have a conclusion. isn't growing up a process? shouldn't it be something that is felt rather than depending it on my academic level (okay, maybe it can be seen when our physical body grow)? does getting into a university determine my growth?
i hope not.to me, knowing that i am growing up is very simple.- it is having to think about my future. intensively. aggressively.
- it is knowing that i need to face the consequence for everything i do.
- it is being honest with the people around me.
- it is understanding my own personality well.
- it is when i stop deluding myself and face up to certain truths.
- it is reconciliating my relationship with my parents.
- it is thinking about love with my head and not my heart.
- it is empathising with my friends.
- it is holding tighter to your dreams and walking towards it.
- it is being convicted of the Higher Powers.
most importantly,
growing up is knowing that i am more than what i think i am; it is about loving how God created me to be.
are you all grown up?
