Adulthood...It's overrated.

Sure;
You finally get to be 'free'.
Make your own choices.
Drink. Watch R21 movies. Do what adults normally do.
Be in control.

But some time down the road, you realise being in control isn't all that fun afterall.
Being free is nothing more than an illusion.
And R21 movies aren't all that great.

Kids yearn for it when all along, what encompasses being an adult is actually what they'll come to hate most: Responsibility.
The irony of it.

Taking charge of your life isn't all that easy.
When you start having to make choices that might invariably dictate the course of your future, it's frightening.
When you've got no one to fall back on but yourself, you start seeing how alone you really are.
It's hard fought not to wish you could go back to being a child with material desires and a steady mountain you could always rely on.

And here's the thing,
Adulthood sucks and its staying that way. Like it or not, you've already purchased a one-way ticket and hurtling towards it at full speed the day you were born.

Whoever said turning 21 was a cause for celebration must be hardwired the wrong way.
