You used to stare at the future with a smirk on your face and la-di-da thoughts running in your mind. The future? That's like, so far off. I'm 15, I have about 10 years to figure out what I wanted to do in life.
Suddenly, life happened. It swooped in and took over your sorry little ass. The next thing you know you're 25, wondering where the 10 years you seemingly thought was forever, went. It's a bit scary to come to the realization that you missed Future's knocks and danced with Procrastination a bit longer than you expected. Growing up meant you needed to bid adieu to Procrastination and welcome Future with open arms.
This doesn't mean that enjoying your life is a crime that warrants a lifetime punishment. You're only young once, you better believe this IS the best time of your life. Once a career, a family and a whole slew of responsibilities figure in, everything changes.
Am I too late? Or am I just being paranoid? Yes, the endless barrage of questions seem to never stop. The self-pity and crushing depression ain't strange either. Welcome to early adulthood.
Then again, if you're still thinking about these things, are you sure you're where you want to be? Order's up!
