Growing Up

I'm still confused about growing up. What, when, why, and how Are we talking about maturity? Naturally, it starts with a womb. I mean, growing up. You should understand the gentle reminder, “What are you going to do in the future?” Don’t be irresponsible. attend every class in elementary school. You're in middle school; act like an adult. Now that you are a high schooler, you might plan for higher studies. You are in higher studies; prepare for jobs. Congrats on your job! You should settle in as fast as you can. You're so fortunate; you've already settled. Why aren't you married? Wow… what a beautiful couple! Why not, baby? Bright children, what about their future? Wait ! Are you still a child? Your children are already married. When will you grow up? ………… Why do people still die without growing? Why do you want to grow? Why did we forget about living in this process of growing? Why don’t you let the child breathe, smile,or just play a bit? Even in 30, 40, or 50 years, why not 60? Can't we grow with aliveness?
