Responsible

When do things change?

When you're little, everyone says "You can be whatever you want when you grow up! You can do whatever you want! The world is your oyster!" How lucky we are to live in a world of opportunity.

You survive high school and then its off to college, where you remain optimistic and think ahead with enthusiasm. You still naively think that whatever happens will be wonderful!

Then BOOM - ADULTHOOD.

Why is the unknown so terrifying now? When did uncertainty become a source of anxiety instead of a source of excitement?

If it weren't for bills to pay, uncertainty would be appealing.

If it wasn't just me, whatever.

Ugh.

I hate making decisions.

adulthood sucks... too much responsibility... more consequences... the realization that life actually is very uncertain, and not a script that you can create for yourself and then just follow...

i don't know about you, but as I get gradually older, regrets start to creep in.. which is strange to me because I used to be relatively free of regret..
