As a kid, each of us had different dreams about how we wanted our future to be.But down the lane, most of us tend to deviate from that.We learn new things as we grow up, and some of them become part of our habits.If we look back most of us have cultivated certain habits which we hated other people see doing.

Things we forget as we grow up

Where a person grew up, with whom they grew up, will have a great influence on thier character, the way they speak &amp; how they carry themselves.At certain age when we attain mental and physical maturity, we realize that some of the things and people we idolize are not exactly what we need to build our life on.This realization can be an advantage or a disadvantage based on our mindset.

Realisation

Think of things you wanted to become when you were a kid and see where you are now.Are you happy? If not, you are never too late.You are the owner of your life, you can sell it, rent it, let it wear away, likewise you can rebuild it. Even if it is for one day, live the life which you dreamed for, cause, in the end, nothing matters.
