Growing up.

Growing up to me means that:

You'll have your own decisions to make.\
You'll have to move to places where not everyone will be willing to accept you.
You'll have to pay your own bills.
You'll have to manage your own financial issues.
You'll have to find food to feed yourself.
You'll have to deal with real life misogynists.
You'll have to lose friendships that were once important to you.
You'll have to accept that the friendships that you have lost might never be able to come back.
You'll have to learn how to move on.

But growing up also means that:

You'll learn how much home actually means to you.
You'll learn how irrational your parents' love for you is.
You'll learn that what has already happened will stay in the past.
You'll learn that it is okay that heartbreaks happen from time to time.
You'll learn that your problems are actually pretty trivial.
You'll learn that every moment is fleeting.
You'll learn how to appreciate.
You'll also learn how to be more forgiving.
