‘Nobody
likes you when you’re 23.’
Yes I’m 23,
and yes I’m quoting Blink182.
My apologies
for not blogging as much as I’d like, but life can be hard to manage in your
twenties. So today I thought I’d post on
some of the difficulties you may experience growing up.
1. Living with your parents – I moved out when I
was 18 for university, and ended up living on my own for almost 5 years. Moving
back home can be one of the hardest things – having to adjust back to their
rules, and not having the complete freedom you used to have.
2. Saving money – for me this is for a mortgage.
But it could be for a number of things, renting, holidays, driving etc. I’m
quite a good saver, but I’m very impatient – it seems to be taking forever, but
I know it will be worth it in the end.
3. Relationships and friendships – things change,
people change and move on. We lose friends and make new friends as we get
older. We see people less often as everyone now has their own problems and
lives to lead. I have a group of friends who I’d call my best friends but
sometimes don’t see them for months...this is hard to adjust to, but makes the
times I do see them more worthwhile.
These are
the 3 main problems I’m facing at the moment. I’m learning to be patient and
always think positive – I’ll get there soon!
What do you
find hard about growing up?
