What does it take to be mature?
I was chatting with my friend via YM. Talked about my absenteeism and eventually we ended up conversing about maturity. Well, lately, I’ve been thinking about myself for quite some time. I’m now twenty two and what? I begin to question, do I consider myself mature? I guess I’m not. Mature ones have the ability to make a decision and stand by it. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities; then they do nothing - and this is where I always end up. And I don’t have the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of the long-term gain - now, this really sounds immature.
Seriously, I want to change. Change myself for the better. I don’t need anything nor anyone to help me change, as what the wise Master Yoda said, "change can only come within thyself". It’s just that I don’t know where to start. I’m open for a change, but sometimes the thought of change scares me, for some reasons that I do not know. Maybe because I’ll be asking myself: What will I accomplish? What difference will I make? And end up having the answer that I failed.
