At the age of 25, 27, or 30 and up,

You'll realize you're not just chasing your own dreams anymore.

You strive to give your loved ones the best this life could offer.

You'll understand the saying "money doesn't grow on trees." You'll work, pay for the house and bills, then work again.

Repeat.

You'll miss your younger self, with fewer responsibilities and not knowing much about the world.

There will be nights when you'll count your hours of sleep.

You'll wake up to work for money, finding another side hustle to earn more.

The reality is, now that you're grown, the burden you carry is heavier.
