Part of adulthood is searching for the people who understand you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think part of maturity is knowing who you are.
As you grow older, you learn to understand life a little better.
We're all just trying to fit in and find ourselves, particularly when we're growing up.
I think sometimes as an adult, you take people for what they do, and what they are now, instead of the whole picture of their lives.
When you finally understand who you are, ages 6 through 60 will understand who you are. Because when they see a person that's come through all that I've come through, still standing, it's amazing.
Talking, it seemed to me, was the point of adult existence.
Why are young adults so self-centered and always seeking instant gratification? Because older adults, often in positions of power, paint them that way.
There is a point in every young person's life when you realize that the youth that you've progressed through and graduate to some sort of adulthood is equally as messed up as where you're going.
True adulthood occurs the moment we grasp that the people who raised us do not exist solely for our comfort and reassurance. From that point on, the steady stream of unconditional love and support we've expected from them all our lives has to flow both ways.
It must be understood that, as adults, we are all terminal.
