ANSA… for the love of writing
As a young adult, there is the constant problem and pressure of wanting to do things. I want to do everything, get my life right and enjoy it. The feeling is so high that you could just feel like running away but you know you can't. The adults in my life, particularly my mom and dad who are always with me, do understand me. My mom, most especially understands the feeling, the coming of age feeling and gingers me to stand up and get it. She does this lovingly and tries to help in reducing the pressure that comes with me.
There is no gainsaying the fact not every person on earth can understand the exact feelings of another. Frankly speaking, adults tend to show their superiority over the less mature by assuming some sort of control and "say", without giving attention to the needful instances of the second party.
I feel that people who are older than I am do not really understand certain issues such as personal experiences and lifestyle which I, myself, have decided to live by. One of the reasons is that I lived with my aunty for three years and she had always thought that I do not have to make decisions until she said "Go on". Adults like her fail to understand that it hurts and often results into frustration. They disregard some things that demand careful attention.
