Why do some people grow up faster than others?
such a question, my belief is that maturity is experience, what’s why a child is naive and oblivious about the word, they simply haven't experienced it yet. Being almost 22 makes me realize how much I’ve learned this past year, and every year before that. How much I’ve grown and changed has been astounding. It's odd that you can get to know yourself much better as you experience different things and hurtful or stressful things with more frequency. Oddly, i feel like i still haven't found out who i am. I know who everyone expect me to be, and i know what my girlfriend expects me to be, but i don’t know quite yet what i expect from myself. i hope i figure it out as my collegiate career comes to a close. the last few months have been sad, stressful, and upsetting, but all by choice. it's actually funny because i choose the path that leads to these terrible subjective feelings. You would think that from past gained experience i would figure out what is the best decision to make, for myself and for other people. But my biggest flaw isn’t about the lack of good decision making I’ve had over the past few months, its the fact that i cant make a decision for myself, and that's what’s festering in my brain... why?
i haven't had a solemn moment alone, without someone else to assist in guiding me and my decisions, i say, i make some for myself and see some tangible results.
