Growing up in public is especially hard sometimes.
When you're growing up in the public eye, it's hard to go from a girl into a woman in front of everyone.
So sometimes things are ahead and sometimes they are behind; Sometimes breathing is hard, sometimes it comes easily; Sometimes there is strength and sometimes weakness; Sometimes one is up and sometimes down. Therefore the sage avoids extremes, excesses, and complacency.
Just being young and growing up in this business is hard. Just growing up in general is hard.
Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.
For any child growing up, anything is possible. We were poor growing up and you had to work hard and make it happen for yourself.
Growing up, I watched my single mother work hard to provide for her three kids. She raised us in a one-bathroom house on a public-school teacher's salary of $22,000 a year.
Obviously, signing on with Puma right when I turned pro, it's been a great fit for me to show off my colorful lifestyle as far as where I grew up and how I grew up, growing up on a public driving range and growing up around action sports my whole life. Not exactly the normal road that guys take to get to the PGA Tour.
Being in the public eye, especially, can be hard sometimes. It's kind of like anything you do is... if you make any mistake... It can definitely be overwhelming sometimes.
Life is a bit hard sometimes, and sometimes you have to step up and fight fights that you never signed up for.
I'm growing fonder of my staff; I'm growing dimmer in the eyes; I'm growing fainter in my laugh; I'm growing deeper in my sighs; I'm growing careless of my dress; I'm growing frugal of my gold; I'm growing wise; I'm growing yes, I'm growing old!
When I was growing up, there were a lot more arts in the public schools. Politically, America has screwed up on that.
That messed me up, growing up in the public eye when I was a teenager. That's when everyone is trying to find themselves.
Growing up in the public eye isn't easy.
Growing up in the public eye was really tough. When you're 14 and your body is changing, your life is changing, and people are watching every step you make, it's really hard to deal with. But I was pretty lucky, people didn't watch me that closely.
I felt like the luckiest kid in the world. And I was. I was growing up middle-class in a time when growing up middle-class in America meant there would be jobs for my parents, good schools for me to prepare myself for a career, and, if I worked hard and played by the rules, a chance for me to do anything I wanted.
Trans kids are living in the future in a way. When I was growing up, "transgender" wasn't even a word. It wasn't used. Just the naming of something that's invisible, or was thought of as shameful or different - giving it a name that's not a slur is powerful. It's still a little hard to imagine what it might look like growing older as a trans man, but I think that's going to change for the next generation. For trans kids growing up, that visual bridge towards their future selves is starting to develop in conjunction with this trans media wave we're in.
