So the other night my mom and I where having a conversation, you know one of those late night conversations that you have with your parents that are deep and personal. Okay maybe you don't have those, but I do. So anyway my mom and I where talking and she said something to me that I hadn't really thought about before, it was along the lines of Kayla, I have to accept the fact that you are growing into an adult now. I asked her went she meant by that because to me I have always felt that little adult side of me even when I was a teenager. Her explanation was this, you are now starting to listen to the world around you and put your input in on a conversation, I have seen you grow into a person that has developed thoughts and opinions. We talked a little more then it was off to bed for me. As i tired to go to sleep I was think a lot, mostly about what my mom had said that i was becoming an adult. It's funny as kids we don't realize what the world is doing to us, we are so in the moment of what is happening right here and right now that we forget that there are other people in the world. We are so quick to grow up to make something of ourselves that we forget to enjoy the moments that life actually brings us. It is crazy to think about in less then three months I will be 20. We all tend to forget as we are growing up, graduating colleges and high school that our parents are watching us. They are watching us grow into able body men and women that one day might change the world. Our parents saw us take our first steps, fixed our first cut, and might have dropped us a few times but most importantly they have watched their little monkey grow into an adult. So yes growing up is exciting and most of us can't wait to grow up only to wish we could be little again, but remember as we are growing older and become adults our parents will always see us as the little kids they once had to push on a swing, put a bandaid on a cut or have lay with us until the scary monsters went away.

Try not to get to mad if your parents still look at you as a little kids
