That's about how I think about myself. I'm ALWAYS changing, learning, so how can I really be "mature"?

Animals can mature, because they go mostly on instinct, and that's mostly a physical thing for them...but humans?

Would you really want to be “mentally mature,” if it meant that you had come to the end of your development, AKA learning? Gah, that would totally suck! It’s great that there’s pretty much an infinite amount of things for us human to try our lessons with. Seriously. Maturity is for the weak minded who can no longer find ways to grow and learn! JEAH!

But I agree about the animals thing. Humans just aren't mature, altogether. They think beyond natural instinct, and therefore there is more possibility and endless limits at which to grow.

So really, the next time someone says I am immature, I will just tell them that I am proud of it, because if I were mature according to the english language, I would no longer have room to grow, expand, learn, change, and better myself. And I'm striving to always better myself. So therefore, they can rightfully call me immature, and I'll be the first to say that I am! Same to you.

Wow...I'm gonna have to use that in the future!

I suppose I don't. That's what life is, a great journey to learn and experience all there is to life. That's why I'm hoping for a long life span...there's just so much to do and see, and not enough time to do it (and money, too `^_^).
