Life is one big and scary ride.

You always hear people say how much easier life was when they were a kid. Less responsibility, care-free, all that good stuff.

I remember what it was like. But I think I have pin-pointed exactly WHY it was like that.

It wasn't lack of stress. Kids have stress from their peers, from school, from a multitude of things.

It wasn't lack of responsibilities. Kids have the responsibility of learning, of growing, of doing good in what they undertake. Of following rules.

It's having not to worry about the unknown. If you were scared, mom and dad (or parental figure) was there for you to guide you through it and help you know that everything is gonna be okay.

It's the fear of 'what if...?' that kids, teenagers, and most college students either don't have or don't pay attention to.

Being an adult is having to be the one who deals with the fears of what's ahead and what you can't control.


Just a little insight...


But not to be a downer, fear can be a healthy thing. It can help you take stock in what you have and what you're thankful for. It can also help you focus and do what you have to do. It can prove your worth and meddle in a tough spot by your brave reactions to it. It can help you grow as a person.


Everything is going to be okay. :)
