An Adult Dream.

“Adulthood is like looking both ways before you cross the street and then getting hit by an airplane.”

In the last post, I said that life is a rollercoaster that we don’t want to ride but we had to because we have no choice other than that. Considering how so many people have different reactions while sitting or having thought about riding the rollercoaster some hate it while others love experiencing it however that few-second ride makes the person feel all the emotions so much that too at once. When we were teenagers we had dreams of getting good marks, making good lifetime friends, having good relationships with family, and getting into a good university. However, the second you enter your adult life everything changes from thoughts, feelings, expectations, and even body. Being an adult is so hard because people expect us to behave like the obedient ones who know what they are doing but in reality, we are far from it. There is so much difference in being an adult, your whole dreams change, and your whole way of thinking changes from what you thought in your teenage dreams. As an adult your list of dreams is not having good marks but satisfying yourself, making your sanity a priority rather than trying to maintain relationships, having a small group of friends or even one real friend, and finding out what we actually want and what actually makes us happy. When you see the difference between adult dreams and teenage dreams you can see that in teenage life we try to keep up with others’ expectations and focus on more materialistic things, however, in adult life, we truly get to understand that nothing matters as much as ourselves and that is why we focus more on realistic things. But the funny and sad thing is that adult dreams are way harder to achieve because the most important thing that includes is feeling which we can’t control. I just know that whatever I want to do I just want to be happy but being an adult and trying to be just happy is so hard as well. I saw this quote somewhere “Be the adult that you needed as a child” and it truly changes my whole perspective and helps me know and achieve my adult dream.

The level-up is about improving, not impressing.
