Adulthood and Childhood. Somehow I can relate with you, the wish to become an adult when being a child, and later when a teenager and such. That said to me it became clear quite early in my childhood that being an adult is a much harder life than being a child or teenager. Perhaps I realised this because I always saw my parents working hard and long hours. Perhaps also because at an early age I was helping my dad out with his business. Perhaps also due to the fact I started to live by myself when I was 15 years of age, in a kinda student home, but not for students, at least I wasn't a student then and (much) younger than others living in the same house where we shared the kitchen, bathroom and such. Anyways, though I at some stage wanted to do something else than going to school (Uni later on), I was given the total freedom and support by my parents to not walk into proper adult life (ie move out of school, start jobbing and such), their support I always embarrassed and pushing out adulthood for as long as I could.
