Growing Up Properly

Take control of your life.

The best advice you could ever get as a 20-year-old. Adulthood is something you’ll never learn how to handle. There is no transition period. You just inherit all that responsibility, the obligation to take care of yourself and people around you.

Making every decision with due diligence is your only option. You don’t have a safety net a.k.a. your parents anymore and everything depends on you. A huge burden. Constant worrying. Anxiety sometimes. No whining allowed.

Then you let go, block the problems, stop paying attention. Everything goes down without your consideration. The ruin, the state of decay around you spread on. Things in your house, relationships, job opportunities are falling apart, slipping through your fingers. If only you could get it together, focus and fully engage in everything you do. But doing things half-way is enough to stay afloat, that will suffice for the moment. Eventually excuses, lies and procrastination are becoming your best friends. If you do this for too long you’ll pass a point of no return. That is where 30 and 40 somethings get their regrets and remorse. Not fun.

Find a way-out of it. Discover the meaning. Attach, care, get involved. Own your life.

Take control.
