Maturity is aware of itself.
When we are young we all do this. We are stubborn. We dont listen to anyone but ourselves. We dont want help from anyone because we want to prove we are an adult and can be self sufficient. We get this immense feeling of freedom at 18 that just makes us want to rebel against everything…
We all need that immature new adult life, where we make mistakes, try new things, love, have your heart broken, get into trouble, loose close family or friends, make new friends, live on our own, etc. It helps further define who we are as people and sharpen us to be a real adult, with responsibilities.
Getting closer to 30 though, it seems we all have this time when we start to become more aware of how we are as a person. What we want in life. What makes us truly happy.
The more that we become aware of how we act and what we do, the more mature we become.
It’s fun, cause looking back over the past 5~10 years, I know I did this, I know people told me I was wrong, and I didn’t listen to them. Now I find myself telling the younger generation the same things and those people don’t want to believe it either. I hope I can be there in the next 10 years to have a laugh with them as they realize the same thing. They will become self aware and thus mature as well.
Becoming self aware is a sign of real maturity.
