growing pains


maturity & adulthood. is there a difference? what constitutes an adult? adults make mistakes, don't they? so if you're mature enough, if you make the wrong decision, the "adult" thing to do is to deal with it, right? otherwise, you still need a lot to develop, character-wise. maturity comes after you have learned the lesson from your mistakes. it's up to you if you commit the same mistakes again. but a lot of times we never learn, really. we commit the same mistakes over and over again even though you know you're supposed to get past them and move on. why is that? maybe because we already know what the outcome would be & hope we would have the chance to change it somehow in the hopes that it would result to a different outcome. or maybe, just maybe you're stuck in the moment and you might feel helpless to get out the situation. or worse, you would feel empty otherwise, deprived of the outcome you've been fervently wishing for. it's only when our heart gets bruised and battered that we eventually come to our senses and do something about it. strangely enough, no matter how hurt we get , we always seem to find the way to bounce back, no matter how difficult, no matter how hopeless. it's how the heart operates. humans seem to have something basic in their system that makes them heal naturally. perhaps divine intervention is involved eh? some cosmic force greater than ourselves working to our advantage. think about it...
