Growing up

It is one of the worst things that happens to human beings.It does not benefit the human race in any good way that I can think of. Just makes them a hell lot complicated and confused.

The first thing that growing up does is make one conscious. You become conscious about everything. The way you talk, the way you walk,the way you behave and even freaking about the way you look! I mean seriously, that is not even in our hands. What the hell would you do being conscious about something that you are not responsible for? If you don't have sharp features (like I don't) what exactly are you supposed to do about it? You are made that way for God's sake!

You also become conscious about what other people think about you. Well the fact is they can not possibly think anything good about you because sadly they are also grown ups. They doubt you. They doubt your actions and your intentions because growing up has also taught them not to trust anybody as it has taught you not to speak your mind.

You lose your sense of humour. Anybody cracks a joke and you would start sniffing for a hint of insult. You can not laugh out loud either. Every time you would feel like laughing out loud in a restaurant the fact that some stupid grown up, who has lost all energy to laugh in the process of frowning at others, might frown at you too would stop you.

You don't understand passion anymore, neither do promises mean anything to you. All you can do is crib and cry and then cry and crib a bit more. You expect a lot out of everybody even when you know that expecting is not the way relations work. And the worst part is that you know you are the one ruining it for yourself.

It's also sort of sad to grow up. You don't have anybody to blame anymore. Everything is your responsibility now. Even your heart breaks and feeling lonely. You can't go and cry with people because they expect you to behave like a grown up. Anything remotely close to a confession might end up sounding like cheesy dialogues from some crappy Hindi movie and trust me only grown ups know what's cheesy because they can't believe that a word can actually be spoken out of true emotions.

So finally what I am trying to say is that stop growing up till you can help it because after a point it'll get the better out of you.


                                       


p.s: And you need not feel guilty about not growing up. It has never served any great purpose.
