I'm not sure what it is lately but since going back to school I feel more grown up. Maybe it's being the oldest in the school and feeling like an adult among children. Maybe it's the more demanding classes. Or it might be the responsibilities I've had organizing a project for a charity campaign my school does. No matter what the reason is it's a weird feeling for me. I've always felt like a child that will never become a proper adult but I think I'm starting to realize that growing up isn't something you notice happen. It just happens as you move through your life and get older. Whether or not you want it to happen, it does. You begin to change because of the responsibility you get because you don't want to disappoint anyone or yourself by not being able to live up to that responsibility.
Suddenly I'm starting to care less about what people think of me because I'm too busy doing what needs to be done to worry about the opinion of others. I mean I've always thought of growing up as this terrible thing but I think it might actually be a good thing. Yes, it's not easy but it encourages you to grow as a person in ways you could never have before.
