About growing

The concept of growing seems to change with age.

In the really really distant past, growing just means becoming bigger. I was really happy whenever I found out I grew 2cm... which, of course, did not happen too often.

Then, growing means becoming stronger, not just physically, but also mentally. It means becoming braver, more adventurous and more daring.

Then growing means knowing my limits and be able live with my flaws.

And then it means gaining better control of situations.

Now... I think growing means learning how to care for your loved ones, protect them from trouble and be there for them in times of need.

I need to grow fast
