Responsibility

Being an adult is not as simple as people can think of. I did have that mentality before; I thought it is easier to be an adult. Those times, I thought being an adult is the key to freedom; I am free to do anything I want to do, I can wear whatever I want to wear and I can go wherever I want to go.
It is true you gain freedom when you turn legal age, yet the older you grow, the bigger the responsibility, the more complicated your life can be. You meet new people, you do new things, you get in charge of lots of tasks and you have to earn extra incomes in order to survive. As an adult, it is our responsibility to find a way for ourselves to survive. Our parents are getting old and they are not capable to work and earn money like before.
As you turn to be an adult, your parents are letting your hands go together with their responsibility on you. Now, it is your turn to take care of them and yourself as well.

PS: Great power, great responsibility.
