The future

I;m scared. This is what I get anxiety over. I'm 24 and oh man I can't imagine getting older. I can't imagine getting married, starting  a family, owning a house, becoming an adult. It jus scares the living heck out of me.

How do I deal will this fact that I will be an adult?

luke, sometime these things like marrge find you. you meet someone that changes your life and then getting married seems like the right thing. Until then enjoy. The same thing happens with jobs. If you dont like what your doing try something else, the perfect job might just find you but you need to take an active role. Just dont stay still....always keep connected with people and you will be surprised at what finds you.

Don't stress about it! Don't think to hard on it, I mean its going to happen, being an adult is right there in front of you. So, grasp it but enjoy it. Like LIFE said, get a job you love or get your own business, set goals but enjoy it, love everyday and embrace it.

The responsibility maybe what is scaring you, or the thought of getting older. Did you go to college?  Or are you in school?  Are you in a job that you enjoy?

Hi Luke, you are an adult already! One thing for sure, is that many people never get married or buy a house. They stay single and enjoy their lives very much so dont stress out as do have this as an option.
But of all the things you mention, to be successful will take money. This is the time in your life that you have to learn a profession or trade and partake in society. If you dont make good money, you wont have a house and also you wont be able to provide for your family.
An adult is responsible, honest and caring, but remember the little boy will always be in you and pop up from time to time.

Find a great career or open your own business, im doing it and having a great time. Money does not bring happiness but it is a very secure feeling having  some big bucks in the bank!
