As a child, literally everything seems easy
Your parents care for you, provide you with food
And the only doubts really are when you would get back to the playground, if your friend has time for you, if your lunch will be pizza or something else
Then, when school starts, things become more serious
You learn hundreds of new things, make new friends, get better at your hobbies
And as you get older, you start to develop your own rhythm, your own beliefs, your own identity
Most people say that being a teenager is the hardest
School gets harder, friendships don't work out, hobbies get devastating
Some start to care only about their good grades, some never even come to class anymore
That time is the most defining, the most formative for your personality
The way how you're taught to deal with things going wrong or plans not working out define how you will deal with the upcoming challenges later
But in my opinion, the time after that is even harder
The moment when you're realising that you'll soon be an adult is scary
Cause getting older is actually scary at this point
Suddenly school, hobbies, friends aren't the most important things anymore
Thousand people ask what you will do after school, thousands of people get in and out of relationships
And you're just in the middle oft that all, stuck
Because everyone expects you to have it figured out by now
And actually, I don't know what I will be doing for the next 50 years of my life
All the Jobs, studies, trainings I look, at sound great and hundreds of people tell me what job they see me doing
But the thought of getting older honestly just scares me
Because maturing means getting a job, moving out, building a family, all of these things
And I don't feel ready for that
Suddenly I have to make up my mind, decide what I want to do
Probably for the rest of my life
Which probably is quite some time
And out of the thousand options I don't know which one to choose
Hundreds of cities are more than pretty, but that means I'm leaving home, my friends
Thousands of jobs sound fun, but everyone tells me something different
And all of this really stresses me out, overstrains me
The feeling that for the next years of my life I will be caught in a stream of changes,
To know that lots of the most important decisions are ahead of me
Makes getting older just scarier
