Nobody tells you growing up feels like this

There are days when I find myself asking, where did my life start going so wrong? I’m studying, working, preparing for the future, and for some reason, I feel as if I’m at a stagnant point. I look at those around me and wonder why they know what they want, while I struggle to find what I desire.

I have my good days and bad days. Some days, I feel as if I’ve accomplished something. Some days, I feel exhausted from the simplest of tasks.

But perhaps that’s what growing up is: accepting that you will continue to move forward in life regardless of doubts and fears, to fight on for your own sake even if you don’t know what you’re fighting for, and to acknowledge that your path in life is different from those around you.

Perhaps I’m not falling behind.

Perhaps

I’m just growing up.
