I find it quite scary, this is the first time in my life that I don't know where I'm going.

Marisa

In my line of work being young is no advantage, you are not taken seriously. I don't mind aging, but I don't want to get old, fat and gray.

Nick, Sarah & Pelle

I don't like making set plans. Things change as they come and I prefer to not get too attached to a plan or a goal. It's more relaxed this way and you will not get disappointed.

Nadia

I'm not completely independent. I'm still depending on my parents a lot. In a few years I will probably be depending on a man. I think you are always dependent on people.

Jessica & Max

I think I need more experience before I can call myself an adult. Maybe when my daughter goes to school. Then maybe I can see myself as an adult.

Kirsten

The older you get, the more the things you choose for are set for life.

Johan

Home is where you feel at home, and where you have everything you have.

Jeroen

Life basically starts now. It's not difficult, but it's becoming reality, and that is quite scary.

Life is getting more serious now. You have to start thinking about things like paying taxes, I don't even know what that is. Maybe adulthood is nice, but I would like to wait another five to ten years for it.

Eric

I'm more responsible then before, I think twice before I buy something.

Sometimes I feel like an adult, but most of the time I feel that I will never grow up.

'Wishville'

"I'm not an adult, an adult is someone who knows what he is doing and knows what his future plans are. I think I will be there in about five years. Hopefully I will know then what to do with my life"

 

Wishwille is a place where you wish you knew more, wish you were older or younger; wish you didn't have to take responsibility or simply whish you could stay there forever. It is the in-between phase in life between adolescents and adulthood.

 

Wishwille (2002) is portraying adolescents in Finland and The Netherlands and quoting their ideas on what adulthood is
