I remember when I was about 5 or 6 years old, hiding in the closet used to be my favorite thing to do. Having been the only child then, staying in the closet, playing with my toys, and having my own corner felt pretty awesome. I remember this one day, I got really upset, felt like the world is falling apart, crawling in the closet was my only comfort zone and crawled away I did.
When my dad came looking for me, I told him that I am really upset and being an adult is so much easier and I want to grow up and be 25. My dad, laughed. Although, he didn’t explain to me back then why he laughed or gave me an explanation, I understand why he laughed. I grew up wanting to be an adult, I am now an adult and I wish life could be more carefree and that the most complicated problem I had to deal with was to decide on what to wear and where to go.
My biggest wonders may not involve around what I will wear and my where-to-go radar has expanded, I now have to think about where I will literally be in the next years to come and how to make it there. My world is still together, stress from all source, I decided to do what my dad had done, smile, laugh, and embrace the present, the joy of youth.
