I almost dubbed this entry "maturity from unique sources" until I finally realized that maturity really comes from sources that are more mundane than spectacular. After all, w do not need a magical epiphany in order to develop a realistic and mature outlook on life. Nor do we need an epiphany in order to ACT mature and like an adult. Sometimes all it takes is changing a job, living on your own, managing a living expense budget, being patient with those around you, not being irresponsible, taking your job serious, biting your tongue, always staying honest and a host of other things a mature, responsible adult should embody. Yet, these very simple - yet mundane - things are what we ignore.
