I always acted really mature for my age when I was younger. I was always talking to adults. Now it's opposite, I act a little bit immature for my age. It's almost like I don't want to grow up.
That's sort of how I am. When I was a teenager, I always tried to act society's definition of "mature" to please my parents and teachers, but late one night when I was 21 years old and I was laying in bed awake, I realized that I'd been living my life to please adults and I never gave myself permission to be a kid. Now I dream of getting my childish-ness back and giving myself permission to be immature. (No pun intended.)
