adulthood.so what exactly is this that many are looking forward to? is it when one is 18 and taadaa.. she/he is an adult. Nope, some feels that 18 is too young, they must be 21 to be an adult. is age the accurate guideline to an "adult"?
its scary for in a couple of mths, i will be under the category of "twenties". will i be an adult then?
the most prominent adults will be those considered working full time after completing their studies. Yet studies can be a lifelong affair especially in our society so the exact line is blurred. An adult is suppose able to be rational in their thoughts and actions. They should experience the difficulties of life, be able to compromise and survive along with many other non related beings. others believe that an adult is one who have the capacity to love.
One who doesnt think narrow-mindedly on love being between themselves and their spouse, or seeking "the one" to love but loving their current families, appreciate all the connections made between blood related or non related beings. Those who can think not only for themselves, but also for their loved ones, for others. Those who understand rational n irrational. Able to support themselves and handle, at the very least, their personal affairs.
If u find that u can move out on ur own, independent of all help, n the world doesnt crumble on u, ur pretty much a super marvellous adult. at least thats what the west thinks right?
i guess everyday we grow a little bit, moving towards adulthood by understanding life and being mentally stronger and more experienced with life. every1 gradually moves into adulthood and there is no such thing as "CHING! ur an adult today!". bullshit. i just hope the "adults" will give the "young adults" more liberty at times, allow them to understand instead of reprimanding.
with the adults in my house, i am never gonna be an adult in their eyes. haha maybe all parents feels the same, their child will always be a child, n not an adult. maybe its man's attitude of superiority of not wanting their child to be on the same level as them when their still under that category. haha
mindless thoughts.
