Have I grown up?

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

I always behave very politely with everyone I meet and make friends with. Each and every of my words is thought to respect the person in every kind of ways. When my friends become insensible and insensitive to me and hurts me with their comments, jokes and their words, I felt very bad .

I felt I am a grown up when I stopped giving importance to other people, their comments, their taunts and moved on happily my way. They’re not going to decide my future and their words can not replace the reality.

I give myself the most importance and their insensitive words to me are no longer saddening or disturbing me the way it did earlier. Perspectives change but a small habit of not thinking before speaking can be improved but can never be completely erased from any person’s attitude.
