Because you’re no longer a kid.
Because popping bubble gum is no longer cool.
Because popularity is not the final goal.
Because the length of your school skirt is no longer a concern.
Because jumping in puddles ruins formal clothes.
Because you now have to wash said formal clothes.
Because stupidity is no longer cute.
Because dropping ice cream is plain clumsy.
Because you are what you eat.
Because red hair is no longer acceptable.
Because late nights are not followed by late mornings.
Because you can’t live in isolation.
Because you can’t ignore.
Because opinions matter.
Because judgements rule.
Because emotions need to be understood.
Because your ego is no longer a defence.
Because you want to protect.
Because you want to feel safe.
Because you care.
Because you believe.
Because you’ve messed enough with people.
Because you’ve messed enough with yourself.
