Yesterday I wasstill a kid.


It is like finding yourself in the driver’s seat while you remember sitting in the back one.When did that happened?!

Being an adult:


Once you get in the front seatthe protective bubble you have been living in...


…gets popped.


Hey, it’s kind of cold here.Do you have a jacket?

Protective bubble residue.

Guys, he is out of the bubble!Come over and introduce yourselves.


These are my friends:THE PROBLEMS ANDSELF DOUBTS GANGYou are not good enough

Stop day-dreaming, this is real life

That new project will put you to ruin

All of your friends are better off than you

Your parents must be really disappointed

That’s a lousy job you are doing as a parent

Husband? You won’t even find a good mechanic

Happiness? Not today pal, maybe next year.

You should have never taken that decision


LIFE IS DIFFICULT

Yes, indeed. But cheer up pal!


Credits to M. Scott Peck who saysthis in his book “The Road Less Travelled”
