I don't know if this is a sign of maturity or not. But I remember when I was young thinking that at least when I got older I'd feel older and more mature, make less stupid mistakes, etc. And I suppose experience lets me avoid things I would have run into when I was younger, but I don't FEEL any more mature. I just feel like me.
I still think stuff that after a second's thought makes me want to hit myself. Do we ever feel grown up, or is it just an illusion? And am I the only one who feels this way?
