Just some late night thoughts... everytime when the facebook memories came across my home feed I would always laugh looking at how immature my facebook status' used to be, then I would screenshot it and share it with my bestfriend and tell her, "hey, look at how immature I used to be!" the conversation goes on and in between those convos there would always be 'its time to grow up!' saying that we told each other.
Then, just now my class chat back in my IB days went down on memory lane, they shared a picture of when we used to sit at the basketball court till dawn playing a mobile game called 'werewolf' but I wasn't in the picture. I wasn't there because I was sulking somewhere getting angry at my classmates because they teased me about something having to do with my long-unrequited-crush loll. And again I said in the group chat just now, "well I was immature at that time" and I tell myself, "its time to grow up!" When is actually the time to grow up was suppose to happen? I said that last year, and I said it earlier this year and I just said it just now. I bet a year from now I would be re-reading this blog post & tell myself, "Wow, my blog posts were so immature, its time to grow up!"
In my opinion, there's no exact time as to when you need to grow up and be mature. As you live and experience life, that's when you're growing and maturing. It is something that happens everyday. There's no need to be so hard on yourself looking back to the days that you've made reckless mistakes and regret for not being good enough or telling yourself that you should've grown up and be more mature. Going through those things in life is what make you mature today and living through today will make you more mature the next day.
So don't be afraid to make mistake in life and don't look back to your past and regret the things that happened. Because life is a journey, a journey means it's something that keeps going and has no end. The end is when you're no longer living your life. So during this journey of life you'll grow and mature by learning from the things that you've gone through.
