Growing up..❤️ When we were kids, growing up felt like freedom. no homework, no rules, no one telling us what to do. now being an adult feels heavy in ways no one warned us about. friends slowly disappear, problems get real, and safety feels rare. bills replace dreams, stress replaces play, and goodbyes last longer than a day. sometimes i wish i could go back and hug my younger self and tell them to enjoy that simple life while it lasted, because adulthood isn't the escape we thought it was..❤️
