How far we've come.
Amazing. Unbelievable. It's been 9 long months since I've really gotten down and actually churn out words proper to call it a post. I guess the power of procrastination is far beyond my grasp, while I'm totally in its clutches. But now that you see this hear I guess I can safely say I've struggled and won for awhile now aye? Sad to say is I don't know if anyone is still bothering to read anything from this ol' dusty corner? Made me ponder about writing a little, but stop I will not. If not for anyone then for myself I guess!
Just for nostalgia I read my posts, beginning from the earliest. And shocked I was to see I started this journal in 2008? It definitely did not feel anything like three years to me. To use an old cliche that I personally love, to me it all seemed to happened in a "blink of an eye". Much has happened and has been experienced, which brings me to what I really wanna say right now.
Some people learn certain things, become of certain age, garnered certain experience, and deem it as maturity. I guess the funny way I like to see things is that maturity is not a fixed state. But rather like that which I've read somewhere before, maturity is realizing that it in itself is not fixed, but ever maturing. Simply put maturity is a constant state of learning new knowledge and acquiring more experiences. It does not stop when one is old, it stops only when one is foolish enough to think himself matured enough.
Why did I suddenly think of this? From reading myself I suppose. Take one moment from each age of mine, and at any specific moment I would think that the thinking of the past me is laughable, and the then "current" me would view myself as more "learned", having known more and be able to mock my past self. But again at every year or every few moments of time lapse, the same train of thought will cross my mind again. So who's to say the next week's me won't think that of me now? Then is it not sufficient to say that I am not as learned, not as matured, maybe even childish now? So I guess I'm still maturing, and that's the mindset I'll stick with for the time being till I know more.
What about you? Are you matured? Or maturing? You call the shots.
