ADULT LIFE
The transition from childhood and youth to adulthood is not guaranteed by age, there are elderly people who have never done so, just as there are young people who had to shorten their childhood to become adults.
This transition happens when we take the center of our awareness of what happens to us and how circumstances shape our character and destiny, to assume a certain protagonism in the mysterious script of life, and with this objective we strengthen our will, testing this strength by opposing ourselves to what we face to make what interests us happen.
The transition to adulthood does not happen all at once, it is gradual, but it is inevitably accompanied by the process through which we stop being supporting actors, or victims, and become protagonists.
Although the infantile condition is not easy to abandon, because, for better or worse, we have no responsibilities in it, we can transfer the focus of our consciousness to the outside world and comfortably declare ourselves the product of what happens to us, but it is still necessary to reach the time to mature and take responsibility, and as we do so, we transfer the focus of consciousness from what happens to us to what we have the capacity to make happen.
Being an adult is neither good nor bad, it's just another phase of life.
