being a grown up
I never understood what it means to be a grown up, or what maturity really is. It seems to always be a matter of perception. I've always had trouble with the concept of growing up because i've never felt like I've changed, really, in any way.
Today, I realized why I've been missing calls. And really, it's because I'm not used to my phone ringtone. it doesn't ring that often - and I don't call people out much.
Very much the same when I was in school - I don't remember ever asking people out for recess. They either call me out, or I happen to meet them at the canteen.
I'd very much prefer to believe that growing up means growing more comfortably with one's self.
The choices we are called to make in our lives may seem to have changed us - but I don't think we would've made different choices... or at least, we would've made the same considerations because that's who we are. What we consider is subject to who we are. And the only thing that's different between the school days and now, is context.
