Maturity

A lot of people are afraid of getting older. But there are definitely advantages to it. For one, your perspective on life definitely changes. You learn to be more comfortable in your own skin. You learn to be accepting. You also learn to be okay being alone. (Note, the word alone is also al-one.) Spending time alone can be beneficial is so many levels. I have quite a few gal friends who are content not having boyfriends/husbands. These wonderful women don't need a relationship to define who they are. They have incredible support systems via friends and family and love the freedom of being independent. I can appreciate that now because I have been "involved" in relationships for the majority of my life. At the present time, I choose not to be in a serious relationship because I need time to just be. I don't want to make the same relationship mistakes I've made in the past. Of course, if I were to meet a "Magic Man" that captivates my attention/heart, my tune would change but for now, I'm good all by myself. : )
