(was) searching..

this is a post i started a few weeks back.. and just kept adding lines to.. but somehow never got round to finishing. y'know how they say that girls mature faster than guys? and that girls have a 5 year jump on guys in the maturity stakes? over the years i have really questioned that.

i've met girls just out of high school, and freshmen in college, who are so focussed on what they want to do in life, and already are the people they will remain for the rest of their lives. and then i've met girls in grad school who behave like giggly teenagers, and who are more suited to being lifetime subscription holders of a Justin Timberlake fan club. heck, i've even met girls who are working and are well-settled in good careers, but remain the kind if stranded without a cellphone or someone to tell them what to do, will run around in ever-widening circles like headless chicken until they'll drop dead of exhaustion or you just wanna help put them out of their misery.

so that means that it's certainly not just age that makes people mature, and sometimes its not even circumstances of life that make them stable.. so what is that x-factor then that makes people level-headed and grown-up?

i've been searching for a while now, searching for a more mature girl. guess what, i did find someone.
