I been thinking , while i was on a 2 hour train ride..... Why are we in a rush to become adults ? And then when we gorw up we wish we were younger again? When we are children we are taught that we have to figure out what we want to be "when we grow up", and find a profession . Then comes marriage and children. At 19 years old I think that I am now just starting to find out who I am. I can't believe that my parents at my age were planning there wedding, just waiting until the day that they graduated college. Now I realize that I DO NOT want to get married so early and have a 9 to 5. I feel like that is a way to get trapped into the "social norm". Go to work ,come home cook and tuck the kids in, I don't wnat my life to be like that . If i had to luxury I would take a year off from school to explore the world, live the life and see what the text books talk about. But society puts a standard to finish college early and to start working. Why?! what are we rushing for ....we all have the same destiny,death so we should all enjoy the world while we can and find ourselves instead of rushing.
