Sometimes I tend to compare myself with other women my age or younger than me by two to three years and always felt short when it comes to maturity level. I read somewhere before that, growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional. That's true at least in my case. I don't have a ten-year-long-plan. I think my only focus right now is to fatten our retirement bank account for all our dream vacation trips when we reach 40. When it comes to that, my determination is a little on the autistic side. Am obsessed. But i want to grow old, live long and die ripe with age and memories, till worms welcome me with their slimy kisses and soil's warmth fill the deadness in me. Sounds exciting and delicious. c",) hihihi.
Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were, you wonder what's to come. Sometimes it's scary cos maturity is a high price you pay for growing old and up, which isn't for everyone as we all know. And it sucks when society expect us to reach a certain level of maturity and growth when we don't.
At least i have learned to laugh off the things i have done; stupid crazy things in the past. Cos it's a sign of maturity they say, when you finally had your first real laugh - at yourself.

ReplyDeleteFirst off, I like the name of your blog. And secondly, it's nice to see a fellow Filipina battle with wanting to wear layers. Haha. Love your blazer. :)
Love the summery pictures and the colour of your dress.
ReplyDeleteAnd snap. Maturity's a pretty difficult concept to grasp. Personally, I feel super mature around my classmates at times. But other times a feel the opposite. I guess it depends. But I think that growing up is exciting. At least when you're young!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Love your dress!!! I want a closer look on it, you always look so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way on maturity, at times I cannot help but to compare myself to others also. It can hurt your ego at times but then I just look around at the people whom I love and loves me back and I feel just right where I should belong.
great photos

i feel so old already, i wish i could just go back in time and play tag like everyday or something! darn i hate the younger generations, the gradeschoolers in my school are getting stress and drama already, WTH! stupid...

First off, I love that aqua-blue dress! The whole outfit is great! ;)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean…I may be only 15, but growing up scares me. I don’t know why, but it always has. I sometimes wish I could be 15 forever! LOL But, then I turn the next age and I’m always like “I like this age much better.” :D
