About This Quote
Transitional periods in life are unsettling because a person’s latent fears constantly whisper warnings. As we grow older, we find ourselves in transition from one phase to another. For instance, when we go off to college, we’re not quite sure what to expect. We’re all too familiar with the way that big changes can lead to feelings of anxiety and fear.
The transition from childhood into adulthood is a particularly rough one for many people. It can be disorienting and scary to leave behind the safety and security of our parents and start our own lives. That’s why so many people cling so tightly to their parents when they go away to college.
They may feel like they can’t handle life by themselves, so they need someone to take care of them. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
