Maturing.

 Maturing is realising two things about yourself:
1.) You can't control everyone and everything or how they perceive you.
And                        
2.) The more struggles and hardships you experience in your youth, the better and brighter life you will have in your adulthood.

Maturing is overcoming, letting go and moving on.

Maturing, is realising not everything can be fixed. Despite all your efforts in trying to.

Maturing is realising that being an open book about your feelings and crying freely, is a strength and NOT a weakness. That you are not alone.
