If there ever was a time when I wished things were easy, it is now. It always seems so much easier to be an adult when you are seeing things as a child, but once you realize you are finally in adulthood and you have to face up to it, things are no longer as fun or ideal. Sure, there are fun aspects to becoming an adult and finding independence, but the cons far outweigh the pros. Having said that, there is perhaps less than 5% of people who say they would give anything to be a child/teenager again. Most people hate their childhood and growing up brings back bad memories. So, if nobody wants to be an adult or a kid, who or what are we? We are left with the irresponsibility of childhood and the recklessness of adulthood. We run away from what we don't like and can't control.
We can't change the outcome of things around us, we can only change how they affect us inside. Sometimes we are strong enough only to survive. When our life dangles on the line and we have nowhere left to run, we are left with facing reality in its most raw and ugly form. The only thing more frightening than death, is living. Death is easy compared to the toil of life, so survival is the next best thing as our flesh fears the unknown abyss that is death, but also fears the known monster that is life.
