i say ‘growing pains’ and you say…

What comes to mind when you read the term ‘growing pains’? Do images of youth appear in your mind? The days of making mistakes, suffering the consequences and then learning what not to do, both inside and outside of the home? Maybe you were not easily accepted by peers and had no one to talk to about it, felt lonely, and had to figure it out on your own? Maybe ‘growing pains’ reminds you of adolescence or of young adulthood, when you had your heart broken for the first time? Or when you broke someone else’s heart, and you realized how influential your actions can be on others? Somehow, visions of ‘growing pains’ do typically connect back to earlier times in life.
