immaturity.

immaturity.

at some point in our lives we have been called "immature".
whether it be when we were eight and we all laughed if someone said "naked" or last week when your friend randomly flipped out at you and went all moody over absolutely nothing and you couldn't help thinking sarcastically "wow. you're mature. not."

now i'm not saying i'm mature.
granted, over the years i've learned when it's okay to act like a little kid who's just been let off those parent-walker leashes in the park and when you just have to push everything aside and grow up.
but to some people, that means nothing.

maturity is taking responisbility for your own actions.
maturity is brushing things off and not holding secret grudges about people.
maturity is standing on your own two feet instead of striving to be just like someone else; they WILL hate you and you WILL have no life of your own.
maturity is talking things out with people or even just that one person who understands you instead of bottling it up for fear of people knowing what you think or just for attention.
maturity is considering someone's feelings rather than you're own selfish bitchiness.
maturity is learning that looks aren't everything and that underneath the surface there's so much more than just a pretty face or a couple dozen zits.

now like i said, im not saying i'm not immature.
i don't do some of those good things and i DO do some of those bad things.

however, people who are TOO immature bug me.
the ones who say "icky".
the ones who go "ew!" at the end of a romance movie.
the ones who won't shut up when all you can hear is "blah blah blah" while they just trying to impress others.
i'm not saying that if you fall under those categories that i secretly hate you, because then i would have some self-hatred going-on.

but immaturity gets to me sometimes.
it's one of those things where you just look up to the heavens and ask "why?!"
because immature people need to grow up.
immature people who try to ACT mature need to stop.
and immature people who THINK they're mature need to shut up.
you're really not, okay?
