Realizing Maturity

"I can't believe the generation of kids nowadays. I remember when we were young we..."

PAUSE.

Don't you just hate those words? Those are the very words that finally make you realize that you are no longer a child. You are now able to compare your life then, to the younger generations life now and once you realize this very important fact, you feel old. Wow, you think, I have turned into my parents and grandparents. All of a sudden, all at once, a lot of things start to make sense.

Remember when you were much younger than you are now, and your parents wouldn't let you do certain things? For example, your 13 years old and you really wanted to buy this one dress. It was pink with baby blue designs and it was just the kind of dress you've always wanted. It was perfect, and it looked just like the dresses you saw the actresses wearing on TV. However, according to your parents it was too tight, and way too short. You think to yourself ( and even say some aloud )"thats not fair! why not? all my other friends get to wear stuff like this, I never get to do anything" and now fast-forward a few years and you meet someone with the same dilemma, and what do you reply? Do you say, of course go ahead I understand? Or is it more along the line of "DUDE your only 13!!? exactly.

Yes, in the beginning I felt old when I first realized it. However, it soon transformed into wonder. I have matured. Wow, thats amazing!
