Coming Of Age

What does “Coming of age” really mean? Some feel age is a state of mind , if you do not feel old therefore you are not. I believe coming of age is a state of education, if you will. A growing and learning experience. Although I have so much in life to learn , I feel I have experienced things and situations, in which I have learned from. The key to coming of age is to not make the same mistakes you may have made in the past, hence learn from your mistakes. I see many people each day miserable in their “situations” , unsettled in their lives. Caught up in the “drama”. The quicker we can learn from our mistakes , the happier we will be. Not always is it that simple. If you find yourself miserable, on regular occasions ,you should look at the situations you may be putting yourself in and make a change.  This is probaly not the first time, and if it is, learn from it and if it comes up again react differently.
Only you have control over your own life, and everyone should start owning up to their own misery, and praise themselves for their choice of happiness. Coming Of Age is a lifestyle. A learning , and mostly self taught experience. People may be involved in a situation that makes you unhappy ,but ultimately you are responsible for you own fate. Keep the faith and rise to the occasion.

If age is a state of mind, I’m Confused. Sometimes I feel old, so sometimes I must be. I learned and experienced a bunch of stuff, then got old and confused and forgot it. If now I’m making those mistakes again, but can’t remember if they were miserable or fun, how should I react differently? And I can’t possibly be in charge of my own fate; I have a best friend to blame for that. Wait, I’m starting to remember something about flunking my college philosophy class, but not sure why…..
