What is maturity? Does it exist? How many people can actually say they are mature in every aspect?
I've come a long way that's for sure, but occasionally, I'm not so sure of myself- am I making the right choice? Am I really growing?
Back to the question- what is maturity? I used to think about it as a number, an age you pass when you no longer want childish things, you think like an 'adult' and you are trustworthy.
I still want childish things; toys still amaze me and I love video games- plus, I know quite a few adults who are more immature than I am.
I suppose maturity has a lot of angles, maturity about dealing with yourself, maturity in dealing with others, maturity with emotions so on and so forth.
But how do you attain all of them?
Is it only experience that helps you climb the ladder up to the pinnacle of maturity?
Oh how I wish there was a shortcut for everyone.
