What Growing Up Is Like!

Hey ya'll! Have you ever wondered what growing up feels like?
Well, of course the process has many ups and downs but we dealt with them anyway but if ya'll still have problem with certain things in life, I hope my words help you.

1) Learning To Say N.O!

• To be honest, I've always had problems
   with saying NO to people and I'm sure
   you must have had too because of all the
   other things in this world this one's the
   hardest to do but I promise the first NO
   you say will change your life. If you're
   uncomfortable in doing something, just
   refuse to do it. Don't do something just to
   please someone.

2) Having A Small Friend Circle.

• Umm if you're someone like me who had a
   friend everywhere you go then this might
   be or might have been a bit difficult.
   Having a small friends circle doesn't
   mean you can't talk to people outside that
   circle but it means to lessen the pressure
   of being loved by everyone and proving
   yourself to everyone. Now that I have the
   tiniest friend circle, it feels better because
   I don't need to please many people by
   applying filters on myself.

3) Less Social Time And More Family Time.

• Now this is something my brother said 
   and I quoted it. Once you start growing. 
   up mentally, you'll understand that 
   spending time with your family is much 
   more important than with friends. 
   Celebrating your birthday with your 
   parents will become special than partying 
   with friends because you can have parties 
   with friends in future too but you might 
   not be able to celebrate your birthday  
   with your parents in future. 

4) Understanding Parents.

• Yes, these people have aged and
   sometimes they don't understand what
   we say but at the end of the day they are
   our parents. People who gave us life and a
   good life which we should be thankful for.
   They might crack stupid and lame dad
   jokes just to see a smile on our face so
   why not laugh for the sake of their smile?
   Knowing the fact that they might not be 
   with us always, let us give them some
   beautiful memories so that all of us can
   cherish them forever.

5) Don't Hesitate In Liking Something.

•  If something brings a smile on your face
   then you don't need to hesitate in liking it,
   just because people say it's boring or
   lame.Well, I'm someone who is very much
   into K-pop and I'm always being made fun 
   of for it whenever I go but that doesn't
   mean I will stop listening to it because
   people are mocking me. It is what it is   
   and you don't need to give a second  
   thought about it. I really enjoy watching
   funny videos of BTS all day and it makes
   me happy so why to hesitate if you like
   something and it's even better if it makes
   you laugh.

6) Acceptance Is The Key To A Positive. 
    Living.

•  Start accepting people as they are. If
   there's something you like and the other
   person hates it, it's okay man, chill.
   Remember, everything in this world has
   lovers as well as haters. So you don't
   need  to convince them or make them like
   what you do. People can't behave like you
   want them to so either ignore or accept
   them for who they are. Also if you are in a 
   relationship, doesn't matter if it's
   friendship or a romantic relationship
   instead of telling the other person to 
   change, try bringing changes in yourself
   too so you could balance it. I'm not telling 
   you to sacrifice yourself for the other
   person. NO! One should never do that but
   try accepting their flaws or bring small
   changes in yourself.

7) And Most Importantly!

• LOVE YOURSELF. ACCEPT YOUR FLAWS.
   IT'S OKAY TO BE WEIRD. IT'S OKAY TO BE
   A LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, PANSEXUAL
   OR TRANSGENDER. IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE
   PERFECT. IT'S OKAY TO NOT GET HIGH
   SCORES. IT OKAY TO LOSE SOMETIMES.
   IT'S OKAY TO GET REJECTED. IT'S OKAY
   TO FAIL SOMETIMES. AND YES, YOUR 
   SMILE IS BEAUTIFUL. YOUR LAUGH IS
   PRETTY. IT'S OKAY TO HAVE FLAWS.
   AND YOU ARE AWESOME!

 BUT DON'T EVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF.

                                                           -Shriya.
