As a child did you ever expect your adult self to deal with this?


As a child you have some image of yourself as a grown man/woman, right? Or at we would at least have some thoughts on adults, age and yourself in the future. Never did you take into account the realities about being a so-called grown-up, did you? I certainly did not.
And I'm glad I knew nothing of the harsh realities about adulthood.

1: Money, Banks, Rent, Credit-cards, Bills...
2: Sex. Birth-control, smear-tests, VD's
3: Relationships. Break-ups. The quest for the one.
4: Wear & Tear of body and mind.
5: Mistakes, blunders & Guilt. You DO get wiser,- but there is a steep price to pay..
6: Work. Not as fun as you thought! Modern day slavery. Only a few are blessed with an enjoyable job.
7: Boundaries & rules. As adults we can but often no longer really enjoy, certain perks. Bed-time is up to you, punishment for naughtiness is your choice, candy every day if you want.. you have your own little life anarchy as an adult.. lots of pressure to create order
