Grow. We always have such a hurry to grow. And why? Because when we are small, the word for us to grow it becomes synonymous with freedom, autonomy, independence, ability to do who knows what great things. But we ignore that, unfortunately, also means to grow up take responsibility, face more serious problems that have to suffer the screams of the mother because we have soiled the couch. And we discover the other side of the coin when we begin to grow.
Growing up is difficult, is demanding and requires much dedication. But above all, the hardest thing is growing up. It happens suddenly overnight, without warning and you miss it when it comes the long awaited day of the 18th birthday. And when you feel different? Simply you can drive, you can vote, you can go to local prohibited under 18y.o., you can drink and smoke (which many people even before). Well then why do we care so much to grow? The answer is simple: because despite the problems, despite the difficulties, despite the obstacles we encounter, it's nice to grow. Grew up learning tante cose e molto spesso dai tuoi stessi errori, impari a conoscere le persone in fondo, impari a rialzarti anche senza l'aiuto della mano dei tuoi genitori, impari a cavartela da solo, impari ad incassare le botte ed andare avanti, impari cosa vuol dire soffrire, ma soprattutto impari cosa vuol dire amare. E allora non c'è prova, non c'è pericolo, non c'è avversità che non valga affrontare per l'amore. Quindi cresciamo e non sempre nel migliore dei modi; perchè ci portiamo inevitabilmente dietro un bagagliaio pieno di ferite, di delusioni, di sofferenza ma anche di tante conquiste, di tanta felicità e di tanta gioia. Perciò anche se alle volte abbiamo paura di crescere, di entrare in quello strano mondo degli adulti perchè we are gripped by a terrible syndrome, Peter Pan and we would love to go kids, we should not be afraid to continue to grow because it is surprising and is part of us.
