Day 151 When I Was Younger

When I was younger, especially during high school, I often felt reluctant to attend school daily. This was largely because I struggled to adapt to the rigid and structured atmosphere, where I was constantly expected to follow teachers’ instructions without question. Additionally, some teachers would often say things like, “Working adults are always under immense pressure. Life outside school is much tougher, and we frequently encounter situations beyond our control.” At the time, I found these statements discouraging, as they seemed to suggest that school life was the final opportunity to experience enjoyment.
Now that I am an adult approaching 30, I find myself disagreeing with this perspective. While it’s true that adults face challenges both in the workplace and in daily life, it doesn’t mean life lacks moments of joy. Through work, we have opportunities to build meaningful relationships, share rewarding experiences with colleagues, and create lasting memories. Moreover, adulthood grants us the freedom to travel abroad and explore the world independently. For these reasons, I strive not to be the kind of adult who instills unnecessary anxiety in younger generations about their future.
