I think the worst part about growing up is taking responsibility for your actions. And this isn't limited to being able to cook and clean or being on time, even. It's about not having, in fact not wanting to blame anybody else or even the circumstances for mistakes that you've made. It's about accepting the flaws that are in you. You didn't actually end up going to a tier 1 college. You were never the top of your class. You never did actually excel at anything. You may have been average, perhaps slightly above average. 

Growing up is about accepting that there's a possibility that you've, in fact, already peaked.

Four years younger, never the wiser.

Four years hence, when I look back to today
Will I see a face just as immature and self conceited
As the one I did just now, when I
backtracked to another time
four years before now?

Let this be living proof
And let the judgements begin.

Post Thought- This may be a biased piece of writing as the pressure of proving that time is proportional to wisdom is weighing upon me.
