As I grow up or in other word, grow older, I tend to realize what is important in life. What was important to me 2-3 years ago isn't as important as it seems to be now. My perspective, my outlook in life is different. I guess that is what we call being mature. Being mature doesn't mean that you'll missed out all the fun or that you have to sacrifice the fun,wild, and crazy side of yourself. No. You can still be fun and outgoing. Its just that you're more cautious and you evaluate things.
I know I know it sounds boring but honestly it isn't though. I used to think back then when I was 16 I was matured enough. Thought i knew how the world works. Thought I can conquer the world. Man, how lame was that? LOL I still cringe every time I remembered it. Over the years life has taught me many important lessons. It teaches me to be patient (which is something that I lack of), it teaches me to deal with people and most of all it teaches me to value the person who loves and cherish you. In this world today, youngsters are so busy catching up with the latest gadgets and trends, and I'm not saying that its bad. No no no. I'm just saying that sometimes we focus on things too much that we don't realize that we're putting people aside. We pride ourselves with standards that we achieve when fact is, it doesn't really mean a thing if you don't have people to share it with. You see people like to wait. They'll say "I'll do it tomorrow" or "I'll give them a call later" and then you forget about it because we take things for granted especially when we are young.

Don't wait. Appreciate it while its there. |
Being mature, it makes you reevaluate your life. You start to appreciate people more instead of things. The decisions that you make are better and wiser because you'll think about how your choice will effect your future. But what I like most about being mature is that you don't have to take life in such a hurry anymore. Because things can be replace but people don't. And even when you lose them like I have loss someone dear to me not so long ago, yes you'll definitely feel sad but apart from that you'll also feel happy not because they are gone but because you do not take them for granted and that you make an effort to be with them and spend your time with them. Because, all of that, is going to be only a memory left behind.
Before I go, I wanna share a story with you guys. Well its not actually a story, its more of a fact or truth of what happened. A doctor told us that when a patient is admitted to the ward due to a small bedsore, at the beginning everyone is there to visit; close friends, friends, distant relatives. But when it start to smell, then your close relatives might come, your close friends might come, but not your friends nor your distant relatives. However, when maggots starts to appear from the wound of the bedsore ( meaning that its getting worse), the relatives and friends stop coming. The only ones that remains is the mother. Wife sometimes. Maybe sometimes. But the mothers will ALWAYS be there. So, be mature, prioritize the people in your life, and don't forget to have fun ;) daa~
