When I grow up

The process of life is an interesting thing. In my mind I had everything sorted but it all seems to have become more confusing and complicated as the years have gone on. I was going to be a ballerina, a designer and now after four years of studying I am a PR practitioner. I’ve learnt a lot during my many years of being a student and it’s funny to think that I’ve been learning since I was born. At the age of 22 there is so much more in store for me and growing up is just the next step in my life’s process.

When I grow up I want to be successful, have a family, enjoy life and be able to take care of myself. I want to be able to tell the stories of my life, my experiences, where I’ve been, what I’ve done, who I saw. My student life seems to have come to an end but I’m not so sure that I want to grow up just yet. When I grow up is in the future, its not here now and that’s what I want to believe. When a person grows up they have to consider so much more things and can’t just be. Their decisions have to be responsible, their life revolves around working - is that what my life will be like when I grow up.

I’m not ready to grow up, I don’t want to grow up but the truth is I have no choice in the matter and I just have to grow up. It’s no longer when I grow up but now I am grown up. Each day I face the new things that grown up life brings and I know there is a lot that lies ahead of me as a grown up.
