Growing up

This is the second article from a scratch paper I had scribbled on while travelling a year back when philosophy became the medium to express. It stemmed from a discussion with a friend about life in general..

Never knew what the phrases "Growing up" or "I have seen the world" actually meant until...
- I met some unreasonably selfish people and you have to put up with them and being cautious of how sweet they might get to hide it.
- When you wake up far far away from your family with nobody who selflessly cares for you and yet you manage to be at peace.
- When you have to stop expecting anything from anybody as a measure to stop hurting.
- When sometimes you land up in situations where the word "hope" seems empty and you cant call family for help and All you know and do is hang in there until the phase passes by.
- When you see people around falling apart and you have to pick them up.
- When suddenly the only happy people are kids.
- When you hardly ask anything from anyone but when you do once, and you dont get it.

That's probably when adults say..."The outside world is harsh and I have seen it" and then you realize its time to stop thinking so much and live happily :P
