If There’s One Thing

By Kathleen McDonald

If there’s one thing I could tell the world it would be, don’t grow up too fast. Life’s not easy.

Well, it sucks when you think you know everything when you really know only some, and not everything. I see people on the road and I’m so curious as to why they chose the life they have over the life they once had. Before they realize that they can change, sometimes it’s too late. You can become as successful as you want to be.

Growing up in this world is crazy. If you’re in an isolated place, you have less opportunity to choose your friends and your boyfriends. Even when you’re in the city—it’s an everyday rush, but pretty soon you’ve got your kids, and your bills, and you’re supporting a whole family. At certain points all you want to do is provide for yourself and no others: it’s called not wanting to grow up. But at some point in your life you have no choice but to grow up. Hey, life’s not easy.
