Growing Up

Well its time for something deep. Growing up its something that any living creature that breathes and exists does. Catapillars turn into butterflies and then mate and die. Such is the destiny of all living things in this sad place that we call reality. I recently began thinking about all this when I finally passed my driving test. The moment I passed it I knew that I was growing up. I know that I ranted about learning to drive and how rediculous it was to learn, but finally passing it I felt relieved. But at that moment of relief I realized something, I was growing up. In that same day last week I knew that one day I would have to take up more responsibilities and be more independent. I just couldn't see myself as an adult. I'm not worried about drinking, drugs and sex; no, its the fact that all the things that I have now won't be around when I'm an adult.

No more summer vacations, the world does not stop in the professional field. Bills and buying food to eat will replace browsing for new anime DVDs and the latest video game console. I guess what I fear is the fact that one day I will have to leave behind all the things that I do now. I'm going to leave behind all my anime and games to do what all things are destined to do: grow up. I guess people are right when they say "you're only a kid once", I remember when I was in elementary school and seeing all these shows about people in high school or college and saying that'll be me one day. Now that I am in that position or even past them I wonder whats next and what will I out grow. I guess for now I'll enjoy being a kid, I may not know whats next but I'll get the most of my youth in terms of gaming and anime.
