Adults When I Was a Child Vs Adults When I'Ve Become One Myself

How perfected you seemed when I was young. The world spun in the direction you told it to. Adventures of a time I wasn't around to experience as well as the people I've never met filled my heart with endless curiosity. Then I got older, Perfection didn't mimic the adults in my life features. Growing up didn't just erase the monsters, fears, anxieties, and childish dreams. Getting older turned the world into a more twisted, cruel, and unjust reality. But it wasn't that the world just one day turned into something my young mind won't recognize, it was like that all my life. Like how my beloved adults were humans, not heroes and heroines of lore.

Thank you. I really was shocked by how much I didn't know about my family and the world around me as I got older. I still have my childhood dreams leading me though.
