Adult

What changes you? What make you feel that you are in the next stage of life? Who determine that you are a child or an adult? Or rather it should be what determine that you are a child or adult. Is it by number or you term is as age or by your status like married, or single, ms mrs madam. All sort of terms that justified you as a child or an adult. I don’t really get it when ppl say that you are of such such age so you should be more…adult like or whatever kind of adult mannerism you should have.

No one asked if you are ready to be an adult. They will just term you by your status or age and as such you should behave according to the number of years you have been alive. Behaving like an adult is for the society’s wellbeing, it’s for the comfort for those around you, it’s for surviving in a working environment. It is not about you. That is why no one asked if one is ready to be an adult. That is why you change. That is why you move to the next stage.

It’s for others and not you.
