One curious thing about growing up is that you don't only move forward in time; you move backwards as well, as pieces of your parents' and grandparents' lives come to you.

I still have mixed feelings about what growing up is - this thing that happens to everyone, so I've heard.

I think the beauty of growing up is not really knowing and figuring it out for yourself.

There's slowly been a kind of shift in how we think about childhood. It's like childhood almost extends to 20 or 22 even after the end of college. When I was growing up, there was this expectation that you were on your own now.

I'm totally growing up.

Being a kid and growing up is such a cool part of life.

When you have kids you do grow up. I have just started realising it now-it changes the world, having children.

I've discovered as I've grown up that life is far more complicated than you think it is when you're a kid. It isn't just a straightforward fairytale.

We're all just trying to fit in and find ourselves, particularly when we're growing up.

All of us grow up in particular realities - a home, family, a clan, a small town, a neighborhood. Depending upon how we're brought up, we are either deeply aware of the particular reading of reality into which we are born, or we are peripherally aware of it.
