My Real Age vs. The Age I Feel

I feel like I’m just right pretty much all the time. I have noticed that sometimes I forget things and I lament that fact regularly. The forgetfulness isn’t a sign of a problem, it’s just the normal absent-mindedness that comes at odd times during the day, such as walking into a room and forgetting why you did that.

While I don’t feel that there is any real differences in how I perceive myself I have to admit that as the years roll by I am getting more mature. It’s a progressive process, I felt I was mature when I was 21, then more when I was 25, and even more when I was 30. At each stage I could swear that I had maxed out on my development and then five years later I look back and marvel at how stupid I really was. This has happened a lot in my life so I just assume I’m perpetually stupid but I’m asymptotically getting better. Perhaps maturity has more to do with Zeno’s Paradox than any of us really know. 🙂
