Reply #28: I'm might get attacked for saying this but

I'm 30 and I feel like I have too much maturity because of a string of problems I've had to learn to overcome. I have had several people who know me in real life all say the same thing, that they feel I have more real world common sense than anyone else they know. I miss not taking myself and my life seriously. I don't think I've done that as a lifestyle since I was 15. I remember back when I was 23-24 and I would post on another message board, people would be surprised by my age. Several people thought I was in my 40s back when I was 24.

I'm just saying its not all its cracked up to be. Maturity seems to come from events that force you to question your assumptions about yourself and life, to adapt to setbacks and reevaluate everything.
