Maturing is,

Realizing that if you're sad over it,

then you probably made the right decision

Realizing if not everyone in your life has to be your friend

sometimes you just keep them

purposely for a certain business

Realizing that the best revenge

is just to become happy with life

and leave them in the past

Realizing that silence is more powerful

than proving a point

Realizing that you can't put meaning

to the things that really means nothing

And maturing is,

Realizing that the older you are

the lonelier it gets

"I realized that something was growing inside of me for some time, has matured : and it is the hate of civilization, the absurd image of people moving like locos to the rhythm of that tremendous noise that seems to me like the hateful antithesis of peace."

- Jon Lee Anderson
