Evolution.

Remember middle school? The time when fitting in was the only thing that really mattered. Or, when dating became the new thing, when you just stopped playing with dolls? Or while you're just finding your way around middle school, avoiding getting lost, people from your elementary school already had their first kiss? When everyone else is wearing a certain brand of clothing, and you're still dressed by your mother? Why aren't I wearing makeup like everyone else is? And your left wondering what's wrong with you, why you are the only one not doing it, or looking like that.
The middle school flashback brings me to my point..evolution. When do we stop caring about what people think about us? When do we say "screw you" to all of the pressures of middle school, or even high school for that matter, and just be ourselves? Simple. It's an act of maturity.
Maturity, in my own definition is coming to your own self, not based on what other's are doing, but what you feel is right in doing. Whether it's how far you go with a guy, or what you wear, it means the same. Evolution and maturity come together. Evolution, is growing into a different person, meaning, or saying.
Take relationships for example. In middle school, relationships (in most cases) last a week, and usually consists of making it known that two people are together, holding hands in the halls, and perhaps a kiss. The relationship usually consists of note passing, both starting and ending it.
In high school, relationships consist of going out to somewhere together, holding hands, and text messages. Everything is much more verbal than a middle school relationship. The typical high school relationship lasts anywhere from months to even years.
This leaves me wondering...what to expect next? What would college dating be like? Or even dating as an adult would be like? Is it like the movies?
I guess that i just have to wait to find the answer to all of these questions...
