a Letter to Her Own pt2

Adulting is an over-advertised phenomenon. Trust me, the ‘real world’ isn’t such a fun place when you’re in it. Those decisions they say you can make on your own come with their own consequences, ones that you’ll have to deal with later. No one's told you that. There are still things that you cannot do. Adult life has its own bounds such as responsibilities & expectations etc., etc. Don't forget how to be a kid. Try to understand while it is good to have your head in the clouds sometimes, it is also good to look down & touch grass every so often. Don’t be in such a rush to become an adult. Do you remember Pinocchio’s story? Remember how he couldn’t wait to become a real boy? But here’s the thing; it wasn’t until he learned how to be a real boy and learned the virtues of a good person that he got his wish. All that to say, you’re in such a rush to be a real grown-up, but you don’t know the virtues of being one and to get your wish you must not only master being who you are now, but you have to understand how to let those virtues become yours. You’re still a little one. You’re just not as little as you were.
