Maturity is realizing that life doesn't end after your 20s. But rather that it is imminent and can be picked up at any time, out of this fixed-mindset mystical ordering of steps / milestones that you have in your head.

And sometimes, it's the little things that make a long life worth it.

Slow down. It's okay. Smell the flowers. Look at the sky until you see a shooting star. Enjoy something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

"Blunt the sharpness
Untangle the threads
Soften the glare
Let your wheels move only along old ruts
This is known as mysterious sameness"
-The Tao Te Ching.
