Maturity

Do you ever wonder at what point you reach maturity? Is it turning 18 and turning in a draft card? Is it 21 and drinking 21 shots or close to it? Is it graduating college? Is it owning your first home? I am 29 almost 30 and I now found out what maturity is. It is not about a job or mortgage. Its not about age or shots, its about relationships. I now know that I was immature for my first 30 years. Immature is not about selfishness but about non-compromise. At 30 I now realize my mistakes and look back at my twenties. Fun but immature. I want more out of life now more than ever. I realize my problems and now want to seize the missed opportunities. I hate to say shit happens and forget it, but it can be a new start. As long as I learn from my first 30 years and see that I can create a new 30 years I will be happy. Memories are as great as you can reasonably tell them. Sometimes memories of the past can be easily overlooked in storytelling but not so easily forgotten in truth. How history of one another is made can always be looked at as a series of events that could have gone a different way. For better or worse.
