Where are you from ?<\/strong> I\u00b4m from Czech Republic. How old are you ?<\/strong> I\u00b4m 29 years old. What do you do in your life ? Any plans ? <\/strong>I work and travel for 3 years now. I\u00b4m enjoying to get know new places and people. But I can\u00b4t wait to settle down finally. Why did you leave home ? (and when)<\/strong> Well I would say I left my home at my 16 when I started to study military school. I was home just sometimes for weekends and than I started to work in different city in Czech Republic and after I decided to travel. And reason? I love to life on my own and discover world. Where is your home now ?<\/strong> My home is and always will be where my family is and where I was born. There is no other place where I could feel like home. What is\/was your relationship with your parents’ house ?<\/strong> I have an amazing relationship with both of my parents. They are not together since I\u00b4m 18 but it turned out better for all of us. I was living just with my mummy and brother after they broke up so I have really strong bound with my mum and she is my best friend. On the other side I have great relationship with my dad as well and we all meet each other sometimes. What does “being an adult” mean to you ?<\/strong> \u201cBeing adult\u201d? What a question. Definitely responsibility, independent, freedom! But never forget to be crazy little bit ! Do you feel like an adult ?<\/strong> I do. But sometimes with my best friend I\u00b4m definitely not an adult! When did you first feel like an adult ?<\/strong> When I got my first job. I got my first salary and I became independent. I could afford an apartment, my own car, everything what I wanted. But all those things have responsibilities as well! I had to pay the bills and many other things. That\u00b4s the life and that\u00b4s the freedom on one side as well. Do you have confidence in yourself ? <\/strong>I do! Many situations in my life shown me that I have to have self-confidence, otherwise I won\u00b4t make it far. When was\/is the moment when you feel fully accomplished ?<\/strong> When I\u00b4m coming back home after long time. When I\u00b4m arriving to the place where I was born I feel those butterflies inside. I remember every three, every building, every street, all cows in the field, all doggies \u2026 everything! It\u00b4s always such a good feeling to come back and watch every small change. My mum always give me amazing warm greeting together with my doggie of course! She always prepare my favourite food and great bottle of wine. If my brother with his family arrive as well, than it\u00b4s top of everything. Than I feel fully accomplished. In Czech Republic, is there pressure from society to be a successful adult after a certain age ?<\/strong> I would say it is. Everyone want to have at least college. But it\u00b4s not good thing always. There are many people with master degree but those people are unusable in normal life. We are mising manual skilled people a lot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Have you ever gone on a trip alone for more than three months ? <\/strong>I never did and I would never do that. It\u00b4s always better travel with someone. Do you feel you have matured after leaving your country to leave by yourself in a new country, with a new language ? <\/strong>I wouldn\u00b4t say matured. I\u00b4m just not scared anymore to go somewhere out of my country and speak with another language. I feel independent. At what age did you leave on your own for the first time ? How did you live this departure ?<\/strong> I have never been just on my own. Always with my boyfriend by my side. We moved abroad when I was 26 and it was so exciting because we wanted that for such a long time but we couldn\u00b4t moved because of lockdown. It was hard just because I left my family for longer time. I love to discover new places so it was amazing time for me to finally do that ! Did traveling to another country, to new cities, help you grow up? <\/strong>No, it was just my dream came true. I grow up much more earlier. For you, age is an important \/ indispensable element to feel like an adult ? <\/strong>Important thing is how you feel not how old are you. Age is just a number for me. For you, does the fact that you are a man or a woman change the situation ? Do you have any examples ? <\/strong>I don\u00b4t think there are many differences between to be woman or man in this world. We are all on the same boat. But sometimes women can be really tricky and if can choose I\u00b4ll always choose men company. Do you have a story – funny or not – to share about a situation where you said to yourself “Oh shit, that’s an adult thing I didn’t do before” ? <\/strong>I have a hard stories but they are definitely not for sharing with others. So I don\u00b4t know about other things. For me is being an adult not really big thing. It\u00b4s just natural nothing crazy. Don’t you feel that being in your twenties is pretty hard to live in our society? You have to be beautiful, know what you want to do with your life, then find the great job, the great guy, the great girl, be surrounded, have the great apartment, get married and start a family? Is this what becoming an adult is all about ? How do you feel now ? <\/strong>I never care about our society too much. I just life my live how I want and I don\u00b4t care what other people think about me. All those things are just clich\u00e9. Many people did everything like it\u00b4s mention in question but are they actually happy? I don\u00b4t think so. Was it easy for you to become an adult ? <\/strong>It was really easy. My parents did a great job to raised me and prepared me for real life. Can you say “no” without difficulty ? <\/strong>It\u00b4s always more difficult to say no. I used to have a big problems to refuse someone. My life journey tought me that I have to say no in case I don\u00b4t like things how they are or if I don\u2019t agree with other opinion. Anyway I think I\u00b4m doing great steps with that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Is there a specific area that you are stuck on, you are not independent, you always need help ? <\/strong>Not at all. When you’re young, you want to be an adult. Do you remember what attracted you to being a “grown-up” ? <\/strong>To have my own money, to get things which I wanted, to become independent. Is being an adult today what you imagined it to be ? <\/strong>I\u00b4ve never imagine myself like an adult honestly. I always lived by presence. Last two years I finally figured out what I really want to do in my life and I\u00b4m starting to imagine myself like \u201can adult\u201d in the future. Is being an adult about accepting reality as it is, and stopping dreaming ? <\/strong>It\u00b4s important to have a dreams and always do the best to make the true. Your fears, your questions about life ? <\/strong>I don\u00b4t have a fears right now. I know if I\u00b4ll go for something what I really want I can get it no matter how long it\u00b4s gonna take or how hard it\u00b4s gonna be. I\u00b4m not scared. Do you feel like you can shape your life the way you want ?<\/strong> Of course! That\u00b4s the point \u2026 live my life like I want. For sociologist Susan Nieman, becoming an adult is not about having a job, paying your taxes and saving for your retirement, but about experiencing intellectual and creative emancipation. What do you think about that ? <\/strong>I think that she\u00b4s living in different planet. Of course there is something on it and it\u00b4s important to experiencing intellectual and creative emancipation but that\u00b4s maybe the main point for rich people. The rest of us have to always pay our bills, taxes and have a savings. Those are responsibilities of adult world. Being an adult is being serious ? <\/strong>In some point yes I guess, when it\u00b4s something important in life, something what I really want and care about than I have to take it seriously. Self-mockery is important. Is it an adult thing ? <\/strong>Not every adult can handle self-mockery. It\u00b4s mostly about human nature. Everyone of us is different and I wouldn\u00b4t say it\u00b4s an adult thing. A great music, a great book, a great movie to share that has marked you so far ? <\/strong>I love piano and my favourite type of music is metal core, that\u00b4s my life. A motto, a quote, a tattoo, anything else that marks your life ?<\/strong> Everything is happening for the reason. Destiny decides who you meet in life but it\u00b4s only your heart that can decide who gets to stay in our life. Any advice for someone who is anxious with all these adult questions ? <\/strong>I don\u00b4t like those questions as well. Sometimes you have to step up from your comfortable zone. Are you happy ? <\/strong>I\u00b4m not happy in the moment. But I know what I want and I\u00b4ll go for it! Is there anything you’d like to add that you haven’t mentioned ?<\/strong> No, everything is here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where are you from ?<\/strong> I\u00b4m from Czech Republic.

Tu as quel \u00e2ge ?<\/strong> J'ai 29 ans. Tu fais quoi dans ta vie ? C\u2019est quoi tes projets ?<\/strong> Je travaille et je voyage depuis 3 ans maintenant. J'aime d\u00e9couvrir de nouveaux endroits et de nouvelles personnes. Cela dit, j'ai h\u00e2te de m'installer d\u00e9finitivement. Pourquoi as-tu quitt\u00e9 ton pays (et quand) ? <\/strong>Je dirais que j'ai quitt\u00e9 la maison \u00e0 l'\u00e2ge de 16 ans, lorsque j'ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00e9tudier \u00e0 l'\u00e9cole militaire. Je n'\u00e9tais \u00e0 la maison que pour les week-ends, puis j'ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 travailler dans diff\u00e9rentes villes de la R\u00e9publique-Tch\u00e8que et j'ai ensuite d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de voyager. Pour quelle raison ? J'aime vivre seule et d\u00e9couvrir le monde. C\u2019est o\u00f9 chez toi aujourd'hui ? <\/strong>Ma maison est et sera toujours l\u00e0 o\u00f9 se trouve ma famille et l\u00e0 o\u00f9 je suis n\u00e9e. Il n'y a pas d'autre endroit o\u00f9 je me sentirais chez moi. Quelle est\/\u00e9tait ta relation avec la maison de tes parents ? <\/strong>J'ai une relation extraordinaire avec mes deux parents. Ils ne sont plus ensemble depuis que j'ai 18 ans, mais c'est mieux pour nous tous. J'ai v\u00e9cu avec ma m\u00e8re et mon fr\u00e8re apr\u00e8s leur s\u00e9paration. J'ai donc des liens tr\u00e8s forts avec ma m\u00e8re et c'est ma meilleure amie. D'un autre c\u00f4t\u00e9, j'ai une tr\u00e8s bonne relation avec mon p\u00e8re et nous nous rencontrons tous de temps en temps. Que signifie pour toi \"\u00eatre adulte\" ? <\/strong>\"\u00catre adulte\" ? Quelle question ! Certainement la responsabilit\u00e9, l'ind\u00e9pendance, la libert\u00e9 ! Mais n'oublie jamais d'\u00eatre un peu fou ! Te sens-tu adulte ?<\/strong> Oui, je me sens adulte. Mais parfois, avec ma meilleure amie, je n\u2019en suis vraiment pas une ! Quand t'es-tu sentie adulte pour la premi\u00e8re fois ? <\/strong>Quand j'ai eu mon premier emploi. J'ai eu mon premier salaire et je suis devenue ind\u00e9pendante. Je pouvais m'offrir un appartement, ma propre voiture, tout ce que je voulais. Mais toutes ces choses vont de pair avec les responsabilit\u00e9s ! Je devais payer les factures et bien d'autres choses encore. C'est la vie et c'est aussi la libert\u00e9. Tu as confiance en toi ?<\/strong> Oui, j'ai confiance en moi ! De nombreuses situations dans ma vie m'ont montr\u00e9 que je dois avoir confiance en moi, sinon je n'irai pas loin. Quel est le moment o\u00f9 tu te sens pleinement accomplie ? <\/strong>Lorsque je rentre chez moi apr\u00e8s une longue p\u00e9riode. Lorsque j'arrive \u00e0 l'endroit o\u00f9 je suis n\u00e9e, je ressens des papillons \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur. Je me souviens de chaque arbre, de chaque b\u00e2timent, de chaque rue, de toutes les vaches dans le champ, de tous les chiens... de tout ! C'est toujours un sentiment tr\u00e8s agr\u00e9able de revenir et d'observer chaque petit changement. Ma m\u00e8re me salue toujours chaleureusement, ainsi que mon chien, bien s\u00fbr ! Elle me pr\u00e9pare toujours mon plat pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 et une bonne bouteille de vin. Si mon fr\u00e8re et sa famille arrivent aussi, c'est le summum. Je me sens alors pleinement \u00e9panouie. En R\u00e9publique-Tch\u00e8que, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 exerce-t-elle une pression pour que l'on devienne un adulte accompli apr\u00e8s un certain \u00e2ge ? <\/strong>Je dirais que oui. Tout le monde veut au moins aller \u00e0 l'universit\u00e9. Mais ce n'est pas toujours une bonne chose. Il y a beaucoup de gens qui ont un master, mais ils sont inutilisables dans la vie normale. Nous manquons souvent de travailleurs manuels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Es-tu d\u00e9j\u00e0 partie seule en voyage pendant plus de trois mois ? <\/strong>Je ne l'ai jamais fait et je ne le ferai jamais. Il est toujours pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable de voyager avec quelqu'un. Penses-tu avoir m\u00fbri apr\u00e8s avoir quitt\u00e9 ton pays pour partir dans un nouveau pays, avec une nouvelle langue ? <\/strong>Je ne dirais pas que j'ai m\u00fbri. Je n'ai simplement plus peur d'aller quelque part en dehors de mon pays et de parler une autre langue. Je me sens ind\u00e9pendante. A quel \u00e2ge es-tu partie pour la premi\u00e8re fois ? Tu as v\u00e9cu \u00e7a comment ? <\/strong>Je n'ai jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 seule. J'ai toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 accompagn\u00e9e de mon petit ami. Nous avons d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger quand j'avais 26 ans et c'\u00e9tait tellement excitant parce que nous voulions cela depuis si longtemps, mais nous ne pouvions pas d\u00e9m\u00e9nager \u00e0 cause du confinement d\u00fb \u00e0 la crise du covid. C'\u00e9tait difficile parce que j'ai quitt\u00e9 ma famille pendant longtemps. J'adore d\u00e9couvrir de nouveaux endroits, alors j'ai eu la chance de pouvoir enfin le faire ! Le fait de voyager dans un autre pays, dans de nouvelles villes, \u00e7a t\u2019a aid\u00e9 \u00e0 grandir ?<\/strong> Non, c'est juste mon r\u00eave qui s'est r\u00e9alis\u00e9. Je grandis beaucoup plus t\u00f4t. Pour toi, l'\u00e2ge est un \u00e9l\u00e9ment indispensable pour se sentir adulte ?<\/strong> L'important, c'est ce que l'on ressent, pas l'\u00e2ge. Pour moi, l'\u00e2ge n'est qu'un chiffre. Pour toi, le fait d'\u00eatre un homme ou une femme change-t-il la donne ? <\/strong>Je ne pense pas qu'il y ait beaucoup de diff\u00e9rences entre \u00eatre un homme ou une femme dans ce monde. Nous sommes tous sur le m\u00eame bateau. Mais parfois, les femmes peuvent \u00eatre vraiment d\u00e9licates et si je peux choisir, je choisirai toujours la compagnie des hommes. As-tu une histoire - dr\u00f4le ou non - \u00e0 raconter sur une situation o\u00f9 tu t\u2019es dit \"Oh merde, \u00e7a c'est une chose d'adulte que je ne faisais pas avant\" ! <\/strong>J'ai des histoires difficiles, mais elles ne sont pas destin\u00e9es \u00e0 \u00eatre partag\u00e9es. Je ne sais donc pas ce qu'il en est d'autres choses. Pour moi, le fait d'\u00eatre adulte n'est pas vraiment un probl\u00e8me. C'est simplement naturel. N\u2019as-tu pas l'impression que la vingtaine est une p\u00e9riode difficile \u00e0 vivre dans notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 ? Il faut \u00eatre belle, savoir ce que l'on veut faire de sa vie, trouver le bon job, le bon gars, la bonne fille, \u00eatre entour\u00e9e, avoir le bon appartement, se marier et fonder une famille ? C'est \u00e7a, devenir adulte ? Tu te sens comment aujourd\u2019hui ? <\/strong>Je ne me pr\u00e9occupe pas trop de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Je vis ma vie comme je l'entends et je ne me soucie pas de ce que les autres pensent de moi. Toutes ces choses ne sont que des clich\u00e9s. Beaucoup de gens ont fait tout ce qui est mentionn\u00e9 dans la question, mais sont-ils vraiment heureux ? Je n\u2019en suis pas sure. A-t-il \u00e9t\u00e9 facile pour toi de devenir adulte ?<\/strong> C'\u00e9tait vraiment facile. Mes parents ont fait un excellent travail en m'\u00e9levant et en me pr\u00e9parant \u00e0 la vie r\u00e9elle. Tu peux dire \"non\" sans difficult\u00e9 ? <\/strong>Il est toujours plus difficile de dire non. J'avais beaucoup de mal \u00e0 refuser quelque chose \u00e0 quelqu'un. Mon parcours de vie m'a appris que je dois dire non si je n'aime pas les choses telles qu'elles sont ou si je ne suis pas d'accord avec l'opinion d'autrui. Quoi qu'il en soit, je pense que je fais de grands progr\u00e8s dans ce domaine. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Y a-t-il un domaine sp\u00e9cifique dans lequel tu es bloqu\u00e9e, tu n\u2019es as pas ind\u00e9pendante, tu as toujours besoin d'aide ? <\/strong>Pas du tout. Quand on est jeune, on veut \u00eatre adulte. Tu te souviens de ce qui t\u2019attirait dans la vie d'adulte ? <\/strong>Avoir mon propre argent, obtenir les choses que je voulais, devenir ind\u00e9pendante. Est-ce que le fait d'\u00eatre adulte aujourd'hui correspond \u00e0 ce que tu imaginais ? <\/strong>Honn\u00eatement, je ne me suis jamais imagin\u00e9 comme un adulte. Ces deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, j'ai enfin compris ce que je voulais vraiment faire dans ma vie et je commence \u00e0 m'imaginer comme un \"adulte\" dans le futur. \u00catre adulte, est-ce accepter la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 telle qu'elle est et arr\u00eater de r\u00eaver ? <\/strong>Il est important d'avoir des r\u00eaves et de toujours faire de son mieux pour les r\u00e9aliser. Tes peurs, tes questions sur la vie ? <\/strong>Je n'ai pas de craintes pour l'instant. Je sais que si je me lance dans quelque chose que je veux vraiment, je peux l'obtenir, peu importe le temps que cela prendra ou la difficult\u00e9 que cela repr\u00e9sentera. Je n'ai pas peur. As-tu le sentiment que tu peux fa\u00e7onner ta vie comme tu le souhaites ? <\/strong>Bien s\u00fbr ! C'est le but... vivre ma vie comme je l'entends. Pour la sociologue Susan Nieman, devenir adulte, ce n'est pas avoir un travail, payer ses imp\u00f4ts et \u00e9pargner pour sa retraite, mais c'est faire l'exp\u00e9rience de l'\u00e9mancipation intellectuelle et cr\u00e9ative. Tu en penses quoi ? <\/strong>Je pense qu'elle vit sur une autre plan\u00e8te. Bien s\u00fbr, il y a quelque chose l\u00e0-dedans et c'est important d'exp\u00e9rimenter l'\u00e9mancipation intellectuelle et cr\u00e9ative, mais c'est peut-\u00eatre le point principal pour les riches. Le reste d'entre nous doit toujours payer ses factures, ses imp\u00f4ts et avoir des \u00e9conomies. Ce sont les responsabilit\u00e9s du monde adulte. \u00catre adulte, c'est \u00eatre s\u00e9rieux ? <\/strong>Dans une certaine mesure, oui, je suppose, quand il s'agit de quelque chose d'important dans la vie. Quelque chose que je veux vraiment et qui me tient \u00e0 c\u0153ur, je dois le prendre au s\u00e9rieux. L'autod\u00e9rision est importante. Est-ce que c'est un truc d'adulte ? <\/strong>Tous les adultes ne peuvent pas supporter l'autod\u00e9rision. C'est surtout une question de nature humaine. Nous sommes tous diff\u00e9rents et je ne dirais pas que c'est un truc d'adulte. Une musique, un livre, un film \u00e0 partager qui t\u2019as marqu\u00e9 jusqu'\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent ? <\/strong>J'aime le piano et mon type de musique pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 est le Metalcore, c'est ma vie ! Une devise, une citation, un tatouage, quelque chose d'autre qui marque ta vie ? <\/strong>Tout arrive pour la bonne raison - <\/strong>Le destin d\u00e9cide des personnes que l'on rencontre dans la vie, mais c'est seulement notre c\u0153ur qui peut d\u00e9cider qui reste dans notre vie. Un conseil pour quelqu'un qui est angoiss\u00e9 par toutes ces questions d'adultes ? <\/strong>Je n'aime pas ces questions non plus mais parfois, il faut sortir de sa zone de confort. T\u2019es heureuse ?<\/strong> Je ne suis pas heureuse dans l'imm\u00e9diat. Mais je sais ce que je veux et je vais le faire ! Quelque chose \u00e0 ajouter ? <\/strong>Non, tout est l\u00e0.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","_fr_post_name":"jana","_fr_post_excerpt":"","_fr_post_title":"JANA","_en_post_content":"\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where are you from ?<\/strong> I\u00b4m from Czech Republic. How old are you ?<\/strong> I\u00b4m 29 years old. What do you do in your life ? Any plans ? <\/strong>I work and travel for 3 years now. I\u00b4m enjoying to get know new places and people. But I can\u00b4t wait to settle down finally. Why did you leave home ? (and when)<\/strong> Well I would say I left my home at my 16 when I started to study military school. I was home just sometimes for weekends and than I started to work in different city in Czech Republic and after I decided to travel. And reason? I love to life on my own and discover world. Where is your home now ?<\/strong> My home is and always will be where my family is and where I was born. There is no other place where I could feel like home. What is\/was your relationship with your parents' house ?<\/strong> I have an amazing relationship with both of my parents. They are not together since I\u00b4m 18 but it turned out better for all of us. I was living just with my mummy and brother after they broke up so I have really strong bound with my mum and she is my best friend. On the other side I have great relationship with my dad as well and we all meet each other sometimes. What does \"being an adult\" mean to you ?<\/strong> \u201cBeing adult\u201d? What a question. Definitely responsibility, independent, freedom! But never forget to be crazy little bit ! Do you feel like an adult ?<\/strong> I do. But sometimes with my best friend I\u00b4m definitely not an adult! When did you first feel like an adult ?<\/strong> When I got my first job. I got my first salary and I became independent. I could afford an apartment, my own car, everything what I wanted. But all those things have responsibilities as well! I had to pay the bills and many other things. That\u00b4s the life and that\u00b4s the freedom on one side as well. Do you have confidence in yourself ? <\/strong>I do! Many situations in my life shown me that I have to have self-confidence, otherwise I won\u00b4t make it far. When was\/is the moment when you feel fully accomplished ?<\/strong> When I\u00b4m coming back home after long time. When I\u00b4m arriving to the place where I was born I feel those butterflies inside. I remember every three, every building, every street, all cows in the field, all doggies \u2026 everything! It\u00b4s always such a good feeling to come back and watch every small change. My mum always give me amazing warm greeting together with my doggie of course! She always prepare my favourite food and great bottle of wine. If my brother with his family arrive as well, than it\u00b4s top of everything. Than I feel fully accomplished. In Czech Republic, is there pressure from society to be a successful adult after a certain age ?<\/strong> I would say it is. Everyone want to have at least college. But it\u00b4s not good thing always. There are many people with master degree but those people are unusable in normal life. We are mising manual skilled people a lot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Have you ever gone on a trip alone for more than three months ? <\/strong>I never did and I would never do that. It\u00b4s always better travel with someone. Do you feel you have matured after leaving your country to leave by yourself in a new country, with a new language ? <\/strong>I wouldn\u00b4t say matured. I\u00b4m just not scared anymore to go somewhere out of my country and speak with another language. I feel independent. At what age did you leave on your own for the first time ? How did you live this departure ?<\/strong> I have never been just on my own. Always with my boyfriend by my side. We moved abroad when I was 26 and it was so exciting because we wanted that for such a long time but we couldn\u00b4t moved because of lockdown. It was hard just because I left my family for longer time. I love to discover new places so it was amazing time for me to finally do that ! Did traveling to another country, to new cities, help you grow up? <\/strong>No, it was just my dream came true. I grow up much more earlier. For you, age is an important \/ indispensable element to feel like an adult ? <\/strong>Important thing is how you feel not how old are you. Age is just a number for me. For you, does the fact that you are a man or a woman change the situation ? Do you have any examples ? <\/strong>I don\u00b4t think there are many differences between to be woman or man in this world. We are all on the same boat. But sometimes women can be really tricky and if can choose I\u00b4ll always choose men company. Do you have a story - funny or not - to share about a situation where you said to yourself \"Oh shit, that's an adult thing I didn't do before\" ? <\/strong>I have a hard stories but they are definitely not for sharing with others. So I don\u00b4t know about other things. For me is being an adult not really big thing. It\u00b4s just natural nothing crazy. Don't you feel that being in your twenties is pretty hard to live in our society? You have to be beautiful, know what you want to do with your life, then find the great job, the great guy, the great girl, be surrounded, have the great apartment, get married and start a family? Is this what becoming an adult is all about ? How do you feel now ? <\/strong>I never care about our society too much. I just life my live how I want and I don\u00b4t care what other people think about me. All those things are just clich\u00e9. Many people did everything like it\u00b4s mention in question but are they actually happy? I don\u00b4t think so. Was it easy for you to become an adult ? <\/strong>It was really easy. My parents did a great job to raised me and prepared me for real life. Can you say \"no\" without difficulty ? <\/strong>It\u00b4s always more difficult to say no. I used to have a big problems to refuse someone. My life journey tought me that I have to say no in case I don\u00b4t like things how they are or if I don\u2019t agree with other opinion. Anyway I think I\u00b4m doing great steps with that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Is there a specific area that you are stuck on, you are not independent, you always need help ? <\/strong>Not at all. When you're young, you want to be an adult. Do you remember what attracted you to being a \"grown-up\" ? <\/strong>To have my own money, to get things which I wanted, to become independent. Is being an adult today what you imagined it to be ? <\/strong>I\u00b4ve never imagine myself like an adult honestly. I always lived by presence. Last two years I finally figured out what I really want to do in my life and I\u00b4m starting to imagine myself like \u201can adult\u201d in the future. Is being an adult about accepting reality as it is, and stopping dreaming ? <\/strong>It\u00b4s important to have a dreams and always do the best to make the true. Your fears, your questions about life ? <\/strong>I don\u00b4t have a fears right now. I know if I\u00b4ll go for something what I really want I can get it no matter how long it\u00b4s gonna take or how hard it\u00b4s gonna be. I\u00b4m not scared. Do you feel like you can shape your life the way you want ?<\/strong> Of course! That\u00b4s the point \u2026 live my life like I want. For sociologist Susan Nieman, becoming an adult is not about having a job, paying your taxes and saving for your retirement, but about experiencing intellectual and creative emancipation. What do you think about that ? <\/strong>I think that she\u00b4s living in different planet. Of course there is something on it and it\u00b4s important to experiencing intellectual and creative emancipation but that\u00b4s maybe the main point for rich people. The rest of us have to always pay our bills, taxes and have a savings. Those are responsibilities of adult world. Being an adult is being serious ? <\/strong>In some point yes I guess, when it\u00b4s something important in life, something what I really want and care about than I have to take it seriously. Self-mockery is important. Is it an adult thing ? <\/strong>Not every adult can handle self-mockery. It\u00b4s mostly about human nature. Everyone of us is different and I wouldn\u00b4t say it\u00b4s an adult thing. A great music, a great book, a great movie to share that has marked you so far ? <\/strong>I love piano and my favourite type of music is metal core, that\u00b4s my life. A motto, a quote, a tattoo, anything else that marks your life ?<\/strong> Everything is happening for the reason. Destiny decides who you meet in life but it\u00b4s only your heart that can decide who gets to stay in our life. Any advice for someone who is anxious with all these adult questions ? <\/strong>I don\u00b4t like those questions as well. Sometimes you have to step up from your comfortable zone. Are you happy ? <\/strong>I\u00b4m not happy in the moment. But I know what I want and I\u00b4ll go for it! Is there anything you'd like to add that you haven't mentioned ?<\/strong> No, everything is here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","_en_post_name":"","_en_post_excerpt":"","_en_post_title":"","edit_language":"en","footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rencontres"],"yoast_head":"\n
