2 Growing Up Hacks That Can Deal With The Things You Collected.

How and What do you do when you grow up? What do you do with the things you have collected? When you are a young child, everybody always asks you what you want to do when you grow up!

Well it seems like when you do, you wish you never answered that question because in reality you didn’t want to GROW UP at all! Throughout life we collect things and when it is time to move on, we sit back and look at it and say, “is that something I want to keep”?

As I was cleaning out my parents house, when they passed away, there were lots of memories. Lots of love and connection. I seemed overwhelming and after a while it all seemed like junk. Yes, too much stuff!!! What did I want to keep and what can I move on from.

People love to hear stories, not just see things. When you just show a picture or have a tricket on the shelf, it will not tell its own story. When you share the experience or memory it all comes alive.

Deal with things

I found two articles that can help you in keeping your child hood and help you relate to what happened.

This blog will show you step by step of what you need to do in order to have that memory last though out your life time.
How to Know when You Are Grown Up

Adulthood doesn’t magically arrive with a number. The day you reach 18 or 21 isn’t a day that arrives equipped with the manual for adulthood. Yet, there comes a day when growing up is either essential or simply creeps up on you. Knowing that you’ve reached that point is often an issue of acceptance and learning to change your ways to both outwardly and inwardly adopt more mature behaviors.

Here are five tips to help you determine if you have grown up or not:

1. You actually think about the future.
2. You care about your weight and health.
3. You start appreciating the finer things in life
4. You reminisce about “the good times”
5. You’re content with less sleep.

Well maybe content with less sleep, or is that all that you have time for. Growing up is never easy and we all wish at some point that we can be the carefree kids that we all used to be.

What do you want to remember about your childhood? Do you have a passion that you want to tell others about? For me, I took pictures of everything and then simplified my life. I have memory books to share and tell stories from.

It is a great way to bring your life alive when you share it.
