#32: Let Kids Enjoy Their Youth

It feels like childhood goes by in the blink of an eye these days. One moment you’re teaching your child to tie their shoes, and the next they’re mimicking adult behavior, acting like they’re ready to take on the world at thirteen. Why the rush to grow up?

To every teenager out there who might stumble upon this: adulthood is not nearly as glamorous as social media makes it seem. Enjoy your youth. Hold onto it. You’ll never get this time back, and the freedom, innocence, and simplicity of being young are gifts you won’t fully appreciate until they’re gone.
