Maturity

"I know what I want, but I don't know what the future holds."

I can live with that, gleefully in fact.

Impulse control and observance of appropriate boundaries are novel experiences for me. But I guess that's what being an adult is all about.

Seeing a few steps down the line, looking beyond just the immediate here and now.

Foregoing an ephemeral gratification for a chance at a lasting, meaningful, and transcendental future.

I know my foray into adulthood will be a bumpy ride, fraught with countless pitfalls. But I no longer fear relinquishing the security, familiarity, and comfort tendered by complacency. Rather, for the first time in my life I enthusiastically embrace the challenge and opportunity to evolve.

My nirvana awaits.
