It's funny, the kind of things you can find on the internet.
Beyond the unlimited superficial means to entertain yourself, the endless noise that is annoying people leaving comments on random videos and the never ending pointless internet battles, the internet recently gave me something i wasnt really looking for (PORN! just kidding.)
Perspective.
I came across a random blog a couple of friends and I created some 4 years ago and I was left a little shocked. As to how well i used to write. And how well i used to write about absolutely random topics. Which led me to question myself.
What happened?
You grew up the little voice in my head kept yelling. And i'd have to agree. (well to an extent)
Growing up widens your horizon, people say. Makes you adapt to different situations. Makes you figure out what you want to do. The positives one can draw from growing up are innumerable.
Maturity is underrated. Its more than just growing up. Its a perspective on life.
Why does life demand maturity? Because life is asphyxiating. Every moment of life requires you to be on your feet once you've grown up.
When you were young, its your parents saying "Do this, do that" and all you're thinking is "Wait till i'm older and i can do what ever the beep i want"
And then you grow up and BAM. Its life that says "do this, do that" and you're left as bewildered as a deer under a hunter's spotlight.
Thats where maturity comes in. You'd think that over all the years of growing up made you "mature enough" to handle life's stresses, but at the end of the day, you're doing exactly what you've been programmed to do. Listen, obey. At the end of the day you're still a kid. But a kid with blinders you cannot see.
The world terms it maturity, but its just a perspective. You're older, wiser and yet you're doing what is expected of you and rarely what you want. When the world hits you, and hits you more, its not all the years that you live that keep you going. Its not all the classes you've sat through, all the friends you've met. Its how you view the world. Your perspective. Your maturity.
You go to sleep as a kid, on a bed of roses, dreams and desires, warmed by the gentle flame of your innocence. Yet when you wake up, an adult fully grown, you find the bed full of thorns, the flame a raging fire and the reality of your dreams not half what you expected. Adapt, people say, but no. Your perspective is what keeps you going.
I thought this post was going to be something clever and deep and amusing and what not. The random mess you read above is whats going through the minds of many a student on the brink of graduation, young adults waiting for life's hideous arms to embrace them.
Go hug it. Perceive what you must. Win.
