LTALBS: Growing Up?

Hello, here I am again writing another blog post.

So, hello world, howdy doin?

Well okay, forget about that. Lame intro. Lemme just write an unimportant post about me again. (dry laugh)

Are you curious what is 'LTALBS' in this blog title stand for? Well, that's mean: Let's Talk A Lil Bit Serious. I want to have a serious segment for my blog sometimes, so why not now?

And today LTALBS topic is: Growing Up?

Ya know, when I was just a little kid, I used to watch this kid's show called 'Barney'. Anyone ever remember him? That cute purple T-Rex which friends with kids. Barney along with his dinosaur friends, the triceratops' sibling, love to sing and play with human kids. Since I love listening to a lot of songs, I enjoy this show a lot. There's one song that I love from Barney. It is called 'Growing'.

"Growing, we do it everyday. We do it when we sleeping, or even when we play. As we grow up a little older we can do more things, because I am growing and so are you." 

The funny thing is, in this song, some lyric goes like: "Each day we grow a little taller, a little bigger, not smaller." When in reality, I hardly (physically) grown. (LOL) I'm still a smol bean! 

Okay, forget about that. I always accept the fact that I can't grow taller anymore. Besides, being small means youthful. People will always mistaken your age as more younger than your actual age. Har har.

So, why do I want to talk a little bit serious about 'growing'? People, growing up is not easy. Growing up is scary. Yes, we can do more things as a grown up, like the lyric of 'Growing' says, but still growing up is not easy and scary. In the past, I always thought that being a grown up people a.k.a. adult probably is the coolest thing ever. I always wanted to grow up faster. But right now, when I turn into a real young-adult, the thought of being a 'properly adult' is no fun anymore. There's a lot to face up. There's a lot more conflict. A lot more problems to solve. And deep down, I am still a child who isn't ready to face this hard world.

Then, the conclusion?

Yes, I am still a kid who need a mature-booster so I can pace up with my already-growing-up-friends to face the adult stage. I mean, I can't be like this forever. I can't stay in my fantasy world forever. I realize that I need to wake up from my beautiful daydream someday.

But, just the thought of I have to leave that behind is already scary.

Being a kid means you have a lot more freedom than adult. We never think like this when we were a kid, right? But that is a fact. Adult have a lot and a lot more rules than we thought.

And I can't believe 2017 is almost over. It's like time running faster this year. I'm getting more old and older.

I don't want to grow up, thou.

Well, even thou I said that growing up is scary, growing up have another side too. Yes, it is scary, but it takes you to a lot of adventures. Lot of experiences. Lot of feeling you will feel. Up and down. Laugh and cry. Joy and sorrow. Love and hate. Because life is like riding a roller coaster.

And growing up is your roller coaster's track.

You'll be scared but its alright. There is always a seatbelt that make sure your journey on your roller coaster is safe.

But still, I need a lot of preparations. I know.

By the way, is Neverland, the land that Peter Pan cherish so dearly, really exist in this world? Take me there! (I'm not joking. It's dead serious!)
