We all grow up

See that person that’s in front of you when you look into a mirror. One day that person will become a stranger to you. That person will have different interests, different beliefs, different friends, and a different everything.That person may even be buried in the past one day and forgotten.

We all grow up. Most the time, we blame life and the world for constantly changing on us, without realizing that we’re changing with it too. We grow into something unexpected and become a version of ourselves that we didn’t think could exist. And each time we look back at old pictures or recall old memories, we see that you’re no longer that same kid playing freeze tag outside. No longer that person who believed in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. And no longer kid who was just who was excited turning 10 because they finally hit an age with double digits.

Change is not always a bad thing though. We can grow up to become more intelligent and courageous, we can grow up and make new memories with friends that we have yet to meet, and if we’re lucky, we can one day grow up and fall in love. So as the sand pours down an hourglass and as you can hear the seconds tick away from an old grandfathers clock - who do you think you will be when you grow up and look into the mirror one day?
