Being an adult

The most difficult thing in this world is to be an adult... the responsibilities, the faith people have on you... you're loved ones counting on you, depending on you... decisions to make... wondering whether what you're doing is right or wrong... whether it'll affect your life and in what way... being alone in this scary world... knowing that you need to look after certain people...

Oh my goodness!!! It's a very scary thought, isn't it??? To be out there alone, to be away from your family and that shelter... to come out of that cocoon and face the scary world...
It's very simple to stay at home and think about how lovely and rosy everything will be once you're on your own.. .But how many people have actually done it, standing on their two feet with lots of struggle and pit falls??? Not many.. Most are scared... Me included, very very scared... But I'm on my own now and CANNOT go back... even if I wanted??? Too many people are counting on me.. but I just want to run back to my shelter and let mummy and papa shoo away all the monsters... But I can't do that , can I ? Nope... I'm away and alone, yes I've got help but I've to go my own way one day... work, work and work and one day get married, have a family and then watch my kids grow up and go their own way and feel what my parents are feeling right now!!! Life is wierd but beautiful at the same time!!!

welcome to the US....wild wild world here :) I have been in the US for quite some time now, and I believe the best thing about it is that being teaches us about something called our limits. Once your limits are set down , u r free to have unlimited fun without a guilty conscience :)

Aaaaah...This one is a classic...I could hear Pink Floyd's "Mother" playing far and soft as i was reading this..Especially the verse "Oooooh ma, will i ever grow strong?"Hard work definitely pays.Every second you stay out there and slog is gonna take you a step towards what u've reckoned an acheivement all your life long.And when that day where u're holdin ur acheivement flag comes,I would give a smile and say to myself,"Hey that's my friend".
