About This Quote
The idea of being mature is often associated with being old. The image of a woman or man reaching the age of 30, 40, 50 or more depends on the culture they live in. For example, in some countries, women are expected to be married by the age of 20. Therefore, many young women will sacrifice their chance of having a romantic relationship in order to make sure they are financially stable and able to find a husband of their choice.
But, becoming more mature does not mean sacrificing all that you had previously achieved. It is possible to be emotionally mature without losing your sense of adventure or joy in life.
