some of us got mature so fast maybe because of situations that we're forced to, some of us are called "the latebloomers" coz everything happens so late.. with years of experience in life we still hold on to something that make us what we are as we are. Being mature means you're independent, smart, and always being so practical and realistic in terms of point of view, but rarely gets in touch to oneself and look way way back where we really came from... as a kid.. are we still the same Lil me as I am now as the Bigger Me..? I think I'm quite a kid at heart.. it's so nice to stay that way, other people think it's so weird.. but I think holding the kid in me makes me more grounded and stays positive in life..

yeah definitely, although sometimes to a fault. i agree that being a kid at heart helps me keep positive, but sometimes it also becomes an impediment when it comes to my practicality or being independent. there are times when i catch myself thinking and acting so much like i'm still a child and it scares me. just recently we were at my aunts house and we were with our nephew and niece and my aunt announced that all the children would have to sit in the smaller table and i automatically said "OK". she was like, i wasn't referring to you and she laughed and i laughed to because i thought it was funny, but when i think about it now, it's kinda scary.

Yup I am quite of a kid at heart. Many of my friends like me but for that and tell me its the sweetness in me that makes me unique from everyone else around and say please always be like that. Don't lose your innocent side ever. 
But one thing we all must be careful of is that people don't take undue advantage of this and try to cheat us in any possible way.

Yes....I always say that though my body is aging I am still 16 inside and I don't think that is going to change anytime soon. I think it helps you feel younger...act younger and even look younger. I see others my same age and they look and act so old! I am still a kid at heart!

yes i'm still very much a kid at heart. i totally agree with what you said. kids have less inhibitions and therefore, have more positive attitude which is what we need to be happy in life. the funny thing is though, when i was a kid i always wanted to grow up 'cos i thought adults had it much better. now that i'm grown up i wanna be a kid again

Its very true that situations change a person. How we are is a result of the environment we live in. Many would argue that its very important to be matured so that you can adapt better and that childishness has to go. There is only one thing I would like to say.
It is very important to be matured in the mind but it is also important to be a kid at heart. A good balance of these two will result in a happy and successful life. HAPPY Myloting
