Things Won’t Remain The Same

Adulthood is hard

Part of growing up is accepting the fact that things won't be the same as they were at a certain age. Perhaps this is because when you don't know a lot and can't make sense of things, you feel the world more pleasantly.



While the children take pleasure in the details of festivities, the adult seems to lose their interest; they perhaps now focus more on the practical aspects of the festivities, the care for finances, the arrangement of food for guests, and the labor they have to perform to cater to others.



However, there is another aspect to all this: the subtle heaviness in one’s heart. When one starts growing up, the world gains his innocence, but they start to lose things – the greater ordeal is knowing what is going on in the surroundings.



One feels the presence of the loved ones they have lost, the heaviness of seeing your parents age, and the reality that you are all alone in your struggle. Whether it is fighting the injustices in your life or feeling the sacrifices of others, things when you grow up don’t remain the same.



It won’t be the same as we move forward in our lives. Things will build up, grief will multiply, life will get hard, and you will be under the burden of a lot of things; in all this, let me tell you to find your way to happiness.
