Growing Pains
Growing Pains is the term given to kids as they grow into teens...or teens as they grow into young adults...or if you really think about it...it can also apply to young adults growing into adults...
For some young adults, growing older can be just as scary as a teen growing into a young adult...the differences may be not alike...but it's still a part of growing up. In fact, it can be said each phase will always experience some sort of fear of growing up because...you simply have never experienced it before and now you're force to enter a realm you know nothing about.
It's like going for an exam and not studying for it simply because there is nothing you can study for it because life is unknown, as compared to exams. Although in some ways, life is like a real exam which tests to see how you handle things.
As the teen grows up to be a young adult and puts away teen things for more mature things...they also have to take on more responsibilities which are now vacant for them for the young adults before them need to move on to replace the adults beyond them.
It's likewise with the young adults beginning to run the world as the adults before them begin to start slowing down. Before they could let the adults run the world, but now with teens entering their phase...and the adults above them vacating...it's their turn to run the world...just as how the adults before them took their turn when the veterans even prior to them went to retire.
Life is all about cycles and each cycle lasts about a decade.
So if you're a kid entering the teens...say goodbye to certain things...but say hello to the place which the teens have left you to be in charge of...you need to take it up for they have to move to the young adults zone...just like how the teens have to say goodbye to what they'll be passing you...as they have to take up responsibilities of a young adult.
It doesn't stop there...the young adults have to pass their time to the teens coming up...as they begin to take their place in running the world which the adults before them are getting to retire from. It can be scary to close some doors...but the thing is...you never know what new doors will be opened by closing other doors :)
You could keep the same doors opened...for the sake of you're used to it already...but then you may never know what other doors you could be experiencing instead...just like how these doors that you've come to love...were originally doors you never knew existed before ;)
Change is hard...but...it's a part of growing up...these are Growing Pains ;p
