Childish, Childlike, Immature.

Don’t act like a kid anymore...

Someone told that to me last Saturday night. Ouch. It made me think…

I encountered these words when I was in highschool..

CHILDLIKE - means like a child. Positive.

CHILDISH - means immature. Negative.

I am a self-confessed childish person. Yes, I know and I admit it. Like a kid, I am really STUBBORN. I am CARELESS, I am TACTLESS, and most of all, I don’t act like what a lady should be. I will be turning 18 a few months from now, but still, I am not yet growing UP – I mean, mentally, emotionally, and… uh… physically (hahah, yeah, I’m not that tall, but it’s not the topic here…).

But I believe I do also have a lot of good qualities… because I know I am just being ME. And I think it’s also nice to be a child. No pretensions. No major responsibilities. No pressures. They are just being HAPPY…

Still, I know I HAVE TO CHANGE SOMETHING. I’m not getting any younger, and I have to be more mature in order to face the real world and successfully deal with problems and challenges that I will encounter. But then, how can I do that?!

How can I be mature if I am still young at heart? Hahah… :)

What a dilemma.
