Real maturity is really when you really have to pull it together, and when it doesnt matter. Its not to "suck it up bucko" something something about the lewis quote i was reallx mature when i dont care what others think for me being childish there. And alright a lot people do have very silly hobbies that they find excuses and whyever its not just as a silly interest they just wanna do, everyone does it and if never its a bit miserable, but ther are usually excuseswhy its totally not childish?! People are silly, its even more silly to pretend we dont do that anyways in disguise and excuses. Maturity isnt being bitter and sucking up and trying to fit in at all ciosts, its to be serious when you have to, pull when you have to what you dont want, and not let others dictate what you have to be, or let them gatekeep what the hell "adult" is. Its the same that you are better doing what s good for you if you do no harm, and ignore weird pointless opinions on it?

To me, Ed is someone who is ironically the most mature on the ship and I think that comes from Ed being born into adversity vs experiencing it later in life. While we don’t know what the crews childhood is like except for Fae, Ed lives in a shit hole, she’s an orphan forced to live underground in the burned out remnants of earth, where she could be struck dead by rock fall at any moment. where spike, jet, and fae are presented as people who’ve had good things/loved ones, lost them, and then fixated on that pain, Ed starts out with nothing. She could’ve locked up with ‘what if I die’ ‘what if I get caught’ ‘what if I don’t like living on the ship’ but she doesn’t. She’s learned that there’s no point in fixating on the negative/what ifs and to ignore the unpredictable pain of life, where the bepop crew wrestles with their inability to exert control over their reality, usually in the form of denying themselves their true goals and desires. Its why Ed can leave bebop in the end, because she is always in tune with her desires and wants, even if they come at the cost of adversity. So lowkey what I’m saying is Ed is the Nietzschean Übermensch who fully embraces the will to power💀

You can't keep putting out these videos that get me freezing as I eat like that one scene in Ratatouille because I'm like HOLY SHIT I feel this so hard! I've always assumed the worst pretty much as long as I've had conscious thoughts, it's something I've even told others, saying it's great because it doesn't hurt as bad when things go wrong. But the fact that this mindset could be WHY I often fail in my desires? That I can create self fulfilling prophecies where I tell myself I never win so I never truly try to win? That the fact that I'm minimising pain before anything even goes wrong? What a brilliant insight Prof. You're so unique because you analyse media but in doing so analyse real life experiences and feelings at the same time. Even when the show or the topic don't interest me that much, it's still entertaining because you pack both a take on a piece of media and thoughts on life into one.

I was the same way for a while. Especially in relationships, from my first real one I expected they would all end in messes. And so, the second there was danger, I said "this is that moment" and quit, because I was expecting that it would be the end. I don't think keeping control of expectations is wrong all the time. I think we have the capacity to be pessimistic for a reason, and I don't want to stray anyone into pain from what I said here today leading them to be less so. But, I do think each situation requires its own consideration, rather than a blanket statement of either optimism, or pessimism. I hope that you can take something from all of that and apply it to yourself in a positive way. What I do in saying the words is hard; but harder is making a change from the words. Sometimes, even I don't change from my own. I hope that isn't to depressing of a spin, but I just finished a sad series so it's probably impacting my mood haha

I used to come home after school every single day and make a new skateboard level of LBP, with that default big ramp. I still remember what they're called and what some looked like to this day. Very rough, but functional. Even as a kid, I felt bad that I'd hog the PS3 from 4 all the way until bed, but it was the first real expression I'd found which used logical principles for creative expression, rather than just for more logic. I think that's why everyone said I should be an engineer; I like logic which leads to emotion, but many people only see the action, not the intent This is the first time I've really thought about that in years, and maybe it's something I should explore more. It reminds why even small talks can be so meaningful. Thank you for that, truly

I'm glad I can provide something positive for you. I have someone very close to me who struggles with addiction, someone who was always the strong, solid rock in my life, and now is often someone unreliable because of their struggles. It's tough to watch many times, as their promises and growth fall backwards again and again, and selfishly, the hardest part is that I've failed to find any kind of words or actions which could help them. I've never even known where to start on what I could say, so I sat and watched most times. It's hard to take all those thoughts, the pain of watching someone you love make decisions to lose themself instead of being present, and to know that its a choice weighed down by a true and genuine struggle, so you can't even be angry at them for it and move on. That, to some degree although nowhere near as painful, you are stuck in a cycle with them. I don't really know if any of this helps at all. I was thinking that maybe the words I need to say to someone could be helpful to someone else instead, but I have no idea. Whatever the case, I hope that you're able to come out of this okay, and when you do, there will be people who are happy you did. People who are in your life now, and the ones you'll meet afterwards who are happy to have met you in true

As adults we achieve maturity through the creation of our habits. Maturity can come from the need to work or our vices. But Ein achieves her maturity through fearlessness, which leads to her being independent. The older I become the more I find her way of being desirable. Anyway, a great video has always, it's creators like you that make social media worth my time.

I want to stress that what I say here won't apply all the time or to everyone and their specific situations; sometimes, we will need those barriers for a reason. However, I do think many of us could benefit from considering the when and where of those barriers more, which is what I was really trying to provide. I always feel weird throwing a warning out to such kind comments, but I just want to make sure people know the words are best used as they consider and see fit; not simply as I say. But, I also do want to say thank you for the kind words, and I hope this new perspective really helps you make a positive change : )

There was no personal section for this one, but I only realized afterwards that I really benefited from these methods and simply learned them in a way I didn't connect with maturity at the time. I was never trying to hide my desires, but I also never confirmed them; I allowed people the room to decide that maybe they didn't hurt me. After enough of that, a switch flipped, and things got a lot better since. Although, I still have issues being public about the things I like in person
