Greetings everyone.
As a child I have always longed to become an adult and leave my parents house and enjoy the freedom of doing whatever I liked, whenever I liked and not having anyone to monitor my movements. I as well longed to be an adult so I can be served two or more meats like they always served my dad lol 😂.
My parents were so strict that I once wrote a letter to my mom asking if I was adopted, that day I received the beating of my life, they had to beat me to convince me that I was not adopted.
Today I am who I all thanks to my parents, when I was young I thought they were punishing me and been wicked but after facing the challenges that comes with been an adult, I came to realize they were only trying to put me on the right path.
As a child I thought achieving my dreams of been an engineer was an easy task, I had plans of been done with school and having all I needed at the age of 24. I never knew adult life could be so stressful, I never knew been an adult means been responsible for all your needs.
Today been an adult I have the freedom I always longed for, I can do whatever I want and whenever I want to but the stress of catering for all my needs is so unbearable but I am left with no choice other than to carry my cross and face reality, I cannot be dependent on my parents forever. Now I am an adult and most times I actually wished I remained a child especially when the worries of life come knocking.

I lost passion for school after I wrote Jamb and applied for Civil Engineering but I was given Bioresources Engineering to study, I never knew a course like that existed until I was given admission, I don't have passion for it but I still study very hard just to make Mom and Dad proud.
Things I Love About Been An Adult.
one of my childhood pictures I could find.
- The freedom I enjoy for been an adult is quite peaceful, no one to scold me and all that.
- How I tackle responsibilities when they arise, I am not from a wealthy home so I have to struggle to keep my head afloat when responsibilities come knocking.
- For me I'd say Adult life is not a bed of Roses and neither is it a bed of Thorns.
