Maturing like wine. Fine Wine.

"A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably"

- Eleanor Roosevelt

--------------------

I believe that maturity is not a measure of age. Maturity is a measure of deeds done by people.

There is no one to be put up in the spot here, as all of us claim we are mature, and we as well have our tendencies to be immature.

Who doesn't?

I believed in the past that being eighteen is the real switch for maturity. Like a light, you flip the switch, it just stays on forever.

Apparently, it didn't turn that way.

I still acted the same seventeen year old that I was, saying things without thinking about it.

Now that I think about it, I really do think that it's better for my parents to correct me rather than my friends, or two of them for the matter.

My mother always told me to watch my mouth. I do, but there comes a time and a place for everything. Maybe one of the THREE (not two, realizing) said that there was a time and a place for me to talk, and maybe it's nowhere. This person, I'll partially believe, because some things that I say are totally irrelevant to the subject. The reason why I partially do not believe this person is because that I know I can talk anywhere I want to (which is a total given for anyone, considering it is a right and not a privilege), except I just have to find the right time to do so.

As I am typing this, I slowly am realizing things, and I'm actually happy that I am doing so, only because.

Okay, I'm losing focus.

The reason that I do things that I do is that I never know what impression I throw to people. Well, for the most part I don't, and this is where two of the three people who criticized me low-key for immaturity connect together.

One person said that I was a total idiot at spring conference. As much as I stand behind my delegation and some people that Spring Conference is a laid back version of YnG, it is also the VERY VERY first impression that people get from joining YnG. It's pretty much like an appetizer at your very first elegant restaurant, where appetizers can be as expensive as a main course at Chili's. With that said, what am I looking up there like an idiot, throwing legitimate, yet stupid allusions to Bob Ewell, or a bloodbath? Is this the impression that I want people to see? 

Apparently not.

With that said, I'll follow a thirty second rule that another friend has told me to do. Maybe it is a truly good advice to receive at this point of time before going to BOB 1, considering that it would be bigger than spring conference. With that advice, I probably could say a lot of things way better, and I wont be perceived as an idiot.

This would be my last words for now, as I am surrounded by noise, and that really does irk me.
