Growing Into Adult Life
Thinking about the future is frightening. Why? Because we have no idea what we will encounter. What will be of our lives in the next 2,5,10, 20 years? The only correct answer is that you will have to wait to find out! This uncertainty becomes particularly pressing for people of certain ages. Right now, the age group that I am able to humbly speak on behalf of is the 20-30 demographic. I am 22 years old and with this age I have started to notice certain differences. As a starting point, things change. They really do. Friendships become scarce. The unconditional love you once received from your family seems to become less available and in turn less comforting. The perception you once had about yourself and others can change dramatically from day to day, week to week, year to year. No matter how long it takes for things to change, one thing is certain, and that is that they will not remain the same as long as we keep living.

Takes a down to have an up
We are human. It is of never-ending importance to remember that. But what does it mean to be human? Is it a deep desire to create a legacy? To have offspring? To have a long-lasting impact on the life of others? The answer is, who knows. For millennia, individuals have tried to create a sense of what being a human truly entails and a division has been made between our conscious, subconscious, spirit, body, etc. But in reality, is it not arguable that these same characterizations have led us to being even less in touch with what being a human really is? Aspects being overlooked include; passion, drive, ferocity, hunger. In everyday life, you do not eat a hamburger and think about how your subconscious mind had some influence in the decision. You do not take thought to how the chemicals in your brain are being exerted, when you are falling in love with someone. If you did this, would it positively shape your actions, or would it take the 'fun' out of it? That is for each of us to explore. Nevertheless, thinking about these issues in the sphere of societal expectations can lead to some detrimental outcomes. Why? Because overthinking always has the potential to hurt you, and others.
