Some people will never understand
Some people will never understand you
Adults always seem to have the same views
Parents always tell their children “I just want what’s best for you”
I never understood why or what they meant
I always thought they wanted to control my life
Pre-school was nothing but playing outside and taking naps
Elementary turned into just playing outside and very few homework assignments
Middle school turned into homework assignment and hanging out with friends
High school turned into into only homework assignments and deadlines and possibly a job
You slowly grew up without realizing
As you grew older, your mentality grew with you
You no longer felt the need to be like a child
You realized you have responsibilities and need to grow up
I realized what my parents meant by saying they just wanted what’s best for me
They weren’t keeping me from having fun
They genuinely wanted what was best for me.
