Maturity Indicators Part a

Signs of aging. LOL!
Realizations over the weekend. I am indeed getting older.
It's inevitable. It's the destination that everyone will end up.
You can re-route, choose different paths but will all fall into the same finish line.
I remember when I was young, I was impatient on growing up.
I wanted to fast forward things, I wanted to grow up really fast.
Ironically, the opposite is happening now.
I want to pause and freeze time now that I'm all grown up.
I miss my childhood and the stupid things that came with it.
I compare how I can get away with things because I was young.
I miss those days when I don't have to worry about anything.
When I don't have to worry about what to eat, today or tomorrow.
When I don't have to worry about what to wear, today or tomorrow.
When I don't have to worry about getting to bed early because I got to get up early the next day
When I don't have to think of ways to get laid, today or tomorrow.
When I don't have to worry about everything that happens in my life.

Those were the days when I was care-free.
Listening to the optimist in me, I have decided to embrace it.
Instead of using the words "getting old", I prefer to call this phase "maturity".

Maturity, as hyperdictionary defines it:
[n] state of being mature; full development
[n] the period of time in your life after your physical growth has stopped and you are fully developed.
[n] the date on which a financial obligation must be repaid.

State of being mature; full development:
Hmmm, am I already at maximum development? I guess not yet. I'm still on the process. Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually. Still on the process of exploring thyself. Knowing and loving thyself more. Letting go of those things that may obstruct my path to maturity.

The period of time in your life after your physical growth has stopped and you are fully developed:
This pertains to the physical aspect. Physically our body stops growing at some point.

The date on which a financial obligation must be repaid:
This is when maturity is used in a financial sense. But we can think of it as this: Maturity can be a phase when our obligation to the world can be repaid. This is the time when we can make a difference. This is the time when we can give back to everyone or everything that contributed to who we are right now. It's payback time!

So whenever you feel you are getting old, think of it as "getting matured", walking to the path of maturity, of wisdom.
Since everyone is destined to take that road, it all boils down on how we walk through it. It all comes down of the quality of life we put into it.
It's how you lived your life.

You, what are your maturity indicators? (continued on next post)

Naks, masyadong seryoso ang post ko. Hindi ko napigilan ang flow of ideas habang pumepetiks dito sa office.
Mas creative pala magsulat pag andito sa office. hahaha
