Growing up as a child I have always felt life was simple. I remember thinking that because as a child I was being loved and received gifts and care from people around me which was my happy moments as a child. In my mind growing up was like a ticket for me to land a good job, buy a house, marry a good wife, travel abroad and enjoy a good life to me I feel like once I reached that adulthood all these accomplishments would be waiting for me to claim. That's was my theory about life I wanted to grow up quickly so i could live the life I had imagined.

But reality but different you know when you become and adult you start seeing something new. learning something new you start realising those word you said back then and start shaking your head those feelings. After I had grown up I realised adulthood comes with alot of responsibilities that I never realised as a child, those responsibilities such as bills, decisions, deadlines, expectations, sacrifice just name then these are the things that shape everyday the world rotateea h day with different challenge as an adult to overcome.
Looking back I sometimes wish I could go back to being a kid to the simplicity of carefree life nothing to worry about collecting the love and attention as an adult I got to understand these are the sacrifice and duties a parent must carry growing up doesn't mean freedom it means facing the weights of the world on your shoulder, often before you feel ready for it.
And if am totally honest here my biggest fear is living in poverty for the rest of my life not just being poor but never achieving the success I dream of, leaving a mark, never accomplishing something meaningful, Adulthood is never being easy I must confess to the people making it out there they must have gone extra length just to clean that shame away from them leaving a wealth for the generation to come, that's my main concern, it terrifying thinking about it I have seen so many people growing up leaving their lives in rented houses, struggles endlessly just to meet ends meet and eventually leaving this world with no achievement or legacy just memories that fade with time. On the other hand some tend to make it big out out of this challenging times and all that having a legacy and all that fame.
It comes down to aren't they the same human being why is one successful and the other is not why does grace speaks for one and not the other there is a old saying upon every man being born some are destined to be successful, some are destiny to be poor, some are destined to die at early age, some are destined to grow old, some are destined to have wisdom it goes on and on like that.
What I fear now is I fear a life which I never reach my potential, a life where am forced to settle for less than I know I can achieve. And that fear drives me every single day. It pushes me toom work harder, to learn more to plan carefully, to fight for the future I want. I remind myself daily success is not a given it requires persistence, patience and courage
