Scared I'm so scared of growing up

The thing is guys, my life is passing really fast by. I remember it was just 2010 I was watching Tangled in the movie theaters and now its 2014? Its just scary to think about. I'm facing all these new responsibilities. And the worst part is I have to say goodbye to a lot of my childhood memories like Pixie Hollow since I'm a young adult. Its really scary to think about my whole future ahead of me, and all these new responsibilities I have to take on. Starting to manage my own life. I mean where did the time go? I wish I was still that 6 year old kid having fun outside. Do you guys ever feel like it passes way too fast? I always feel that way. I'm scared of growing up. My parents are already lecturing me about how I'm a young adult and how I should stop being immature. But I guess my heart still is that innocent little kid having fun. I have like 5 cousins who are below the age of six and when I look at them I remember myself. And if I could turn back the clock years back to when I was a little kid, I would've done that long ago. It just passes way too fast. And I'm not trying to grow up fast, it just happens ya know? And sometimes when I think about it deeply I tear up cause its so scary and sudden. Do you guys know what I mean?

I know how you feel Amber. I miss my childhood and my high school years very much. When your a child things seem to go by so slow and when you hit adult hood everything goes by so fast. But remember stay young in your heart. Also just because your growing up does not mean you cannot enjoy some of the things you did in your childhood like DISNEY!

I know exactly what you mean, Amber. Time does flies by so quickly and I also feel scared about growing up sometimes. I wish that I could turn the clock back and be little again, too. When I think about that, it just makes me sad because I know it’s not possible to do that.
But, even though I will grow up, I know I will always be a kid at heart, and nothing can change that. For some reason, that makes me feel better about growing up. And like Luna said, just because you are growing up, doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy things that you did in your childhood!
For instance, I thought for a while that I would have to stop playing Pixie Hollow because I was becoming older, but guess what my mom told me? She said it didn’t matter if I was fifty and I still played on there, it was something that I had fun doing and it brought me joy, and that was all that mattered. Unfortunately, Pixie Hollow is obviously closed, but the point is, some things you can still enjoy no matter how old you are! Some people might think it’s silly, but who’s really losing out?
Anyway, I've realized that when I constantly wish to go back to the past, I'm not enjoying the present. One thing that's good to remember is always enjoy the age you are, because you’ll never be that age again.
So instead of remembering your childhood and being sad and wishing to go back, try to remember the memories and be happy! (It was hard for me to do, and it sometimes still is, but it helps me feel better.) Being little was a lot of fun, wasn’t it? Enjoy the rest of your childhood while you are still young!
“Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.” (I found that quote online, I don’t know who said it. )

Fly with you, Amber!

I have that fear sometimes, too. I think it's something that everyone experiences sometime in their life, but maybe some more than others. It's been a struggle of mine to deal with, but here are a few things I've realized:

Age really doesn't have much to do with maturity. I've known some very mature kids and some very immature adults! So, you can be mature and still be a child at heart at the same time. You can still like Pixie Hollow, you can still go outside and play tag if you want to.. You can do anything you want! Really. There is no rule that says once you turn (__) years old then you're not allowed to do\like (__) anymore.

It's important to live in the moment and enjoy what's happening right now, because if you keep worrying about how fast time goes by, you'll be sitting here in a year wishing you had enjoyed it instead of worrying so much about the future.

I know getting new responsibilities can be very stressful, but take a breath.. it's okay. You don't have to be completely mature and responsible all in one day! You are still a kid, too. Try your best to enjoy life as it is and remember that "growing up" doesn't mean you have to change who you are into some boring cog (Toontown reference ) or stop loving "childish" things. As Walt Disney said: "Adults are only kids grown up, anyways."

Pixie hugs and hot cocoa for you!

Aw, growing up can feel scary sometimes, but it's not as bad as it seems to right now, I promise!

The best part about growing up? Age is just a number.

You don't have to 'grow up' in a sense. Yes, there will be responsibilities that will need to be done as you grow, but you can stay childlike in your heart!

There are many grown ups on this site! (Myself included!) We have chosen to keep the spirit of Pixie Hollow in our hearts, and you will, too.

hugs!

Just remember, you're only just at the beginning of the greatest adventure of your life. By letting go of some things you loved, you're just making room for new things you'll love even more. Sure, growing up seems scary... But isn't that what everyone feels at the beginning of an adventure?

you know, maybe you're not scared. Maybe you're just a little nervous... But really excited. lol no, seriously!

First things first: time for hugs!
I know how you feel. When I was starting to get older, I was completely terrified. I'm 85% sure that everyone goes through this panicky feeling of growing up. But, of course, that means all the more people to give advice!!

Though, everyone here has posted such amazing tips, so... I'm just going to double everything. Growing up and looking at your future can be really scary. But you've sort of got to take it one step at a time. Try not to fear what's coming--because its your future! You "call the shots"! Its your life, and you can live it however you want to. It doesn't matter what other people say--if you feel in your heart and mind that it's the right thing to do, then it probably is.
Going out and living in the moment is also important. Then, instead of looking back on what you could have done with regret, you can think about what you did do with pride. That whole idea just changes your entire outlook.
Also, staying on the bright side of things helps. Going through the whole getting older thing can be tough, since most people associate getting older = growing up mentally. But if you just try to stay true to yourself, and try to look on the bright side of things, it will help you get through even the most dire of situations.
Also: problems are temporary setbacks. "My Life is Over" moments don't actually last for the rest of your life. The sun always comes out after a rainstorm, every cloud has a silver lining, and every rainstorm brings out life in the world. (Go nature morals!) Just keep moving forward, and you'll find that you can... well... keep moving forward, past all of the problems of the past.
(Say goodbye to the pain of the past, we don't have to feel it anymore... Love is an Open DOOR!!!)
^ As you can see, I'm a firm believer in a positive outlook ^

Pixie hugs, sweetie! We've all got your back!

You know what? Your parents are scared of you growing up, too. I don't know how old you are, but they've probably been realizing that you are growing up, and thinking, "Oh my goodness, she's going to be __ in just __ short years!!" So they're doing their best to prepare you. They're probably worried that they haven't been good enough parents to get you going on your own two feet when the time comes, but they're probably over-worrying too.

Everybody grows up pretty much at their own pace. You still have some years before you're out in the world, it sounds like. It's good that you're aware that that day is coming and it's good that you're taking it somewhat seriously. I think that'll help you grow up at a good pace--not too fast, not too slow. Try not to worry and just trust that you'll get there in your own time. There will come some days where you're emotionally ready to put some kid stuff behind you, and it'll surprise you that you're so calm about it. Or for some things, you'll suddenly discover one day that you haven't done that particular thing in a long time! And that you don't miss it too much, because there are other fun things to do now.

And then there'll be some things you just never can quite give up, and that's okay too. I'm a grown-up and I still LOVE coloring (with crayons!), and juvenile fiction will always be my favorite kind of book to read. Whatever those little things are for you that you keep with you as you grow up, they'll just become part of who you are as an adult. Or maybe some of them will transform into similar fun hobbies that have a more grown-up flair (for example, scrapbooking, or making real jewelry to sell).

Whatever happens, you're going to be okay. Enjoy your life as it is every day and watch yourself grow. Lots of hugs.

I know how you feel, Amber. Pixie Hollow was pretty much my only place to just have fun a be a kid. Now that it's gone, I feel like Peter Pan without Neverland! I don't mind growing up, but it's nice to feel like a little kid sometimes. You just have to keep going and enjoy life as much as possible.

We've all been there, but you know - "Time flies when you're having fun!" Remember all of the good - and bad- times. Keep a journal. Take pictures. Get out and have fun. Laugh often. Love wholeheartedly. Cherish your loved ones. and Love yourself.

I know how it feels too... I remember like it was just yesterday i was a little girl at elementary school playing four-square at the blacktop,having a good time and having that exciting feeling when i coming home from school because i couldn't wait to go back online and play Pixie hollow. Now its 2014... actually were in April of 2014!! almost the middle of the year! The year does pass by fast...My advice is to just to be prepared what life has in stored for us and live your life to the fullest!
