Growing up sucks. Plain and simple. It's this over fantasized thing that we are pressured to think about since most people can even remember. Everyone always asks us "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We all sit here and wish our lives away while waiting for something better to happen. Yet we don't realize that being young is probably the best time we're ever going to have. There are so many things that scare me even though I have been waiting for these days for my whole life.

1. I don't want to take care of an aging body.

2. I don't want to have to find a real job.

....and probably under payed and over worked.

3. I don't want to spend my money only on things I need.

I want to be able to not have to worry about money and how it controls our lives.

4. I don't want my metabolism to slow down.

I want to be able to eat anything and everything I want and when I want.

5. I don't want to feel pressured to have a relationship, or kids.

I want to be able to be by myself and to be happy with no pressures.

6. I want my parents to always be there to help me fix my mistakes.

Growing up is something that we all have to go through. So I will always try to make the best of it. I promise myself not to be pressured by the standards of the world and try to have fun. I will take everyday and try to enjoy it because even though I am growing up, I hope to have a young and free spirit. I hope to be someone who can be mature and conquer, but still not have to take life so seriously. So even if I'm not a size 2, with 3 perfects kids and my perfect spouse, in our lovely house that we work 5 days a week at a job we love.... I will love my perfectly imperfect life, because it's mine and it's one of a kind.

So I finally have the answer. What do I want to be when I grow up?

Happy.
