Your not really as grown as you think in life

Ive come to this little revelation of mine. Yea, big deal, but I started thinking about this. Me Im 27 and somewhere in my life Its like Ive assumed the role of a 30 year old and that all the growing up; or the majority of it, is for the most part done. I think its easy in life to play these roles--in my life, it has been trying to seperate myself from my dysfunctional family. So for 10 years, I have found--I have been stuck at this place where I was looking to appear grown but revealed myself to be still stuck in my teens. It feels like so much time has been wasted but really if you think about it isnt this what so many others do. I dont think its intentional superficiality but perhaps in our society emotional well being or emotional growth is nothing more than just a 'thing'. We talk so much about our 'heart' but its just a thing--we dont really acknowledge soul, and the real growth that comes out of it. I think your soul tells you alot about yourself but we tend to get caught up and soo invested in these roles without out really doing to work to attain such a place and end up in our 30s still trying to figure out who we ARE. Its unsettling that you can pass by life so unaware but when come to the realization its a real revelation and with wisdom comes age right. For me I think the one thing that brings me out of that stuck place is my writing and art. I grew up with it but let it go but Its like ive had to accept that it is a very real part of me and ALLOW it to take its shape in my life. Because if your allowed to express emotion and feeling real character grows. What is your take.
