STAYING ALONE

It's true that once we grow into an adult, we tend to want to leave our parents house to stay on our own, you might be feeling to much pressure from them or probably you don't have enough freedom you want so staying alone will be the best for you. Such thoughts had come to our minds and we felt that being on our own is the best because you will probably have enough time to do whatever you want or feel like doing.

I could remember when I was still a child, I had always wanted to grow so fast to an adult so I could do what adults do like going out without being questioned, staying on my own and visiting lots of friends because as a child, I was limited to so many things and then I thought my mom didn't just want me to have friends around, so being an adult would stop many things that I was deprived of.

I see lots of adult eating whatever they wanted and buying whatever they wanted to buy because they have their own money, so I thought it would be better to grow faster so I could do all this things not knowing that every action has a price and life isn't that simple as I thought it was.

The first time I stayed alone was because of school. I got admitted into college and as such, it requires me to travel to another state which I did and the first few months of my life at school wasn't easy. At first when I got admitted, I was very happy knowing that I will finally be leaving the house and I could do whatever I wanted since there's no one there to question my actions. I was also happy that I could eat anything I like and I could go to parties without having to return back home before night falls.

All this things I planned doing for the first time alone but after I saw that life wasn't as easy as I thought it was, I had to change my plans immediately. I could remember the day I had nothing to eat and my food stuffs were finished, no money at hand, it was so tough that I felt like going back to being a child again where I wouldn't have to bother for anything whatsoever. At least I will get to eat to my satisfaction.

I could only think of becoming a child again but I couldn't because in life we tend to move forward and not backward. So to get myself acquainted with the new development, I had to train myself on how to manage with the little I had and how to achieve my goals as an adult.

To be sincere, being an adult is one of the toughest thing in life because you need to plan ahead and you also need to care and cater for people around you. Staying alone also means you need to be independent financially and otherwise, instead of requesting money from your parents, you will have to be the one to provide for them which is actually a good one because they came a long way in bringing you up.

Finally, staying alone as an adult isn't easy but I'm trying my best so my parents will be so proud of me.
