Growing up,
It's something we all must do.
It's more than making your own decisions,
Or making your own money.
It's relearning things you thought you already knew.
Most importantly,
As it turns out,
Your mother was right all along;
About a number of things you were dead set to fight her on.
Love
It's not like the movies you saw,
or the books you read.
It's complicated, messy,
And sometimes hurts a whole lot,
But more often than not it's worth it in the end.
Friendships
Come and go.
They all have an expiration date.
Although, the ones that don't spoil
Will stick with you through it all.
Life,
It gets hard.
Harder for some than others.
But no matter what,
There's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
So it's true what they say about growing up.
"It's hard to do."
But no matter how hard it gets,
There will always be people who love you to stand by you.
