That's Called Growing Up

I guess that’s called growing up. That moment when you see yourself for real as opposed to how you think you are.

When we are young we view ourselves through the lens we create. Growing up usually occurs when reality destroys that image of ourselves and we are faced with handling our new sense of self.
