With each passing year, young adults are getting more and more frustrated because they're growing older.
Although the responsibilities that come with "adulting" appear to be taking a toll on us millennials,—as they have on the generations before us—let's remind ourselves that at least we're not struggling to survive in a developing country.
No doubt many of us regret the days where we didn't have to deal with expenses—a time where we truly didn't realize how easy we had it.
At one point, we felt ready to take on adulthood because we wanted the freedom that came with it. As we dive deeper into adulthood, many of us wish we could rewind time.
And we're going to continue wishing we were ten years younger until we've hit our old age—no, you're not at your old age when you reach 25. So pipe down all you young adults who keep whining, "I'm getting old!" Everyone older than us says it best, "You're in your twenties? Oh, you're still a baby."
I, on the other hand, am trying to enjoy every moment I move forward (including my birthdays).
Sure, getting older is scary. Not knowing where you're going to be in life is an even more frightening thought. But I remind myself that with each year I get older, I get wiser.
Everyone that wants to go back in time, wants to possess the knowledge they've attained up until the present. Of course returning to the past with today's knowledge would be ideal to most. I don't see it that way though.
I'm content with where I'm at and without my past mistakes, I more than likely wouldn't be around the same people I care about most.
I'm positive about moving forward because I'm excited to experience new things and meet new people along the way.
Haven't you ever noticed that conversing with people who are older than you can be more enjoyable because they've experienced so much more in life and have an endless amount of captivating stories to share.
To those who constantly complain about getting "old," just focus on the pros as opposed to the cons.
