— You need some time to grow up a little.
— I finished growing up, Leon. I just get older.
People become stronger because they have things they cannot forget. That’s what you call growth.
As for me, I always assumed growing up happened dogmatically as you got older but it's really something you have to choose to do.
Growing up means one thing — independence. We all want it. Sometimes we use other people to try to get it for ourselves. Sometimes we find it in each other. Sometimes our independence comes at the cost of something else. And that cost can be high. Because more often than not, in order to gain our independence we have to fight. Never give up — never surrender.
No one's life goes exactly like they dreamed as a kid.
