Growing up or growing old

Starting with the accidental question of "Are you growing up or growing old?" yesterday, I actually have drafted this blog already. I used to see the advertisement of Great Eastern Mall which is written "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional" which was really catchy. It is true indeed that we have no choice but growing old but growing up?? I think it supposed to happen naturally. As we grow, our physical and mental grew and grew. (Ops, physically growth might stop in certain age. Unless you've gotten fat or slim..and wrinkle and... ??? erk (^_^))


Mentally growth suppose to be parallel to our maturity(I guess). As we get older, the years we've been through teach us tons of lessons, right? That is why people always said that experience is our best teacher. The question is that; "Is there anyone who never learn anything in those years?". Probably yes. Thus, these type of person might seems to be immature (but not childish). Pretty sad as all those time were wasted.


"No one else can speak the words on your lips." This sentence is taken from Unwritten lyrics by Natasha Beddingfield. I love this lyrics so much and I think it is absolutely right. We can see someone's personality and the way of thinking by looking at the way of he/she speaks and what is spoken. I always remind myself "think before you speak" but what happen when you didn't think first? You just put your brain in disposal, buddy!


Finally, I am growing old and growing up. I keep remind myself I'm 25 (even my bday is in June) and act like 25 years old young lady. (hey, I'm still young~) I write what's in my brain, speak up my own words and do my own things.


p/s: be the 1st version of yourself not the 2nd version of someone else. and please grow up not just grow old.
