![]() I find it quite scary, this is the first time in my life that I don't know where I'm going. | ![]() 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. | ![]() 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. | ![]() 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. |

![]() 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. | ![]() The older you get, the more the things you choose for are set for life. | ![]() Home is where you feel at home, and where you have everything you have. | ![]() 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. | ![]() 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
