Transition to Adulthood and it's challenges

What could you do when you suddenly see yourself not just doubling up on the age's number but then, gradually losing the fun to everything?

You that would normally get out from the home in the morning and play till it's dawn without getting tired even to the extent of sneaking out when you're restricted from going out for that day now has the liberty of going out to play without restrictions but then you don't go anywhere; the door is wide open and yet you prefer to stay indoor...

Those are just perks of what adulthood entails!

We come into this world, given birth by our parents and then we keep growing and also keeps drawing close to adulthood with every birthday we do.

It's a good thing we kept growing, like c'mon growth is a good thing and also a sign of progress but also comes with challenges.
When we think of who we were before as children and the adult we've become, we often feel a lot of pressure not because adulthood is bad neither is it a scam but because it comes with real life challenges;

• Responsibilities:

As children, we've got no responsibility at all but as adults, responsibilities come knocking on our door at every minute of the day.
We suddenly see ourselves entangled with a lot of things and worst still when the means to make those ends meet ain't forth coming, it gets harder by the day and then you curse the day you became an adult.

• Decision -Making:

As children, we just do whatever we are told without thinking it through, we just act like robots but then becoming adults, the weight of making those decisions lies on us.

Making decisions isn't as easy as you may think because once you make a decision, you're solely incharge of whatever that happens; the outcome, sequelae and consequences of those decisions are all on you and you alone.

Fingers will be pointed at you for any misstep you took even if it wasn't your fault.. often times, people are driven to edges and even commit suicide because the decision they made didn't favour them.

• Worries:

As children, there are little or nothing to worry about, no wonder our parents keep shouting, "do you think at all?" when we do some kind of things as children and it's understandable because we don't use our brains most times but just do what we want to do...

Turning to adults, it's a whole different game, we keep worrying about everything; about our parents, about our future, about the decisions we took, literally about life as a whole.

This makes life much more difficult owing to the fact that there will never be a time we would completely be free of worries!

What Could Make It Better

Honestly, adulthood is a phase we all ought to embrace; it's natural and must happen and it's a good thing it happened... Yes,it would be nice if we all stay as children all the years of our life because we want to avoid these stresses but then, it's not a great thing we're stuck without progress.

Adulthood will be better if we've got the support system to guide us as we thread in that journey, no one knows it all and an advice from a friend on how he went about a particular issue you're facing will really go a long way.

It could also be better when we have a source of income because truth be told, most of our worries would only be solved if we have a means of income because adulthood also comes with you trying to be independent.

Adulthood is a great stage of life but also a difficult phase, hence, making it easier for everyone should be the goal so that this transition gets a whole lot easier.
