As I mature...

I looked around; several hundred trees have fruited, the birds due to fledging have developed feathers or plumage. I looked at me... yes I am mature, I have developed and reached maturity. I had a thought to jump out of the office cubicle and run down the street naked shouting “Eureka!” which was kiboshed by the enlightenment...I am Anil not Archimedes.

As I mature I've learned so many things and I was thinking how to present them of you. That process of using your mind to consider something carefully a lot requires so much time. I came across a small article somewhere deep down the internet forest. Am presenting it to you.

As I mature…

I’ve learned that no matter how much I care,
some people are just assholes

I’ve learned that you cannot make
someone love you. All you can do is
stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I’ve learned that it takes years
to build up trust, and it takes
suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I’ve learned that you shouldn’t
compare yourself to others- they are
more screwed up than you think.

I’ve learned that you can keep vomiting
long after you think you’re finished.

I've learned that we are responsible
for what we do, unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that regardless of
how hot and steamy a relationship is at
first, the passion fades and there had better
be a lot of money to take its place!

I've learned that 99% of the time when
something isn’t working in your house, one
of the kids did.(may be yours or you are the kid)

And as I mature

I've learned that the people you can care most
about in life are take from you too soon
and all the less important ones just never go away.
