I believe that humans reach full maturity at different stages in their lives. Everyone is different. Not to say that I've reached mine but ive finally gotten out of the veiled experience of childhood.
Don't take it wrong, I can still enjoy things as a child, in a child-like way. Without a doubt the world is vast and astonishing to me every second of every day.
But I'm getting ahead of myself again. Basically my experience at this point is pointing me in the direction of loving myself. Oh I'm very capable of "doing" all kinds of things. With the help of others I've gone further and have done more things than I can list here in my 27 years of life.
But for the past, let's say 7 years, I've lost track of taking care of myself. Small things like actually enjoying my appearance, my personal exterior that I present to people. I'm great at fronts but when I'm all alone... Well it was a little bit too dark for a long time there.
But now I'm making a conscious effort to take care of myself. To really be able to look myself in the mirror and like what I see as the days pass. That is my goal right now. Its not about weight loss or anything like that. I'm finding out once you stop worrying and obsessing about weight loss, the pounds go away, as the body takes care of itself.
Getting ahead of myself again. My goal is to like my reflection, myself. Starting with small steps like enjoying bathing myself... Taking the time to lotion myself with care, to take precautions for my skin and myself in general.
This may sound so simple! But it's happening and something tells me it will work.
