My nickname comes from my name, Fernando. I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and I was born in 78. I'm currently studying and working. I have a big passion for cinema (see the list of films I've seen below), some tv series and rock music in general. In this blog I write mainly about my useless thoughts, likes and dislikes and my pathetic life. Nothing very interesting, really!

Aging or maturing?

Sir Sean Connery once said this great sentence: "Some age, others mature". I still don't know in which part of the sentence I am...


What I know is that I'm indeed getting old, but not necessarily aging or maturing. And I don't know this by finding some white hair in my head (yes, I've already found some). I know this by finding out that some nice teachers I had in high school are dead. Two of them have just died. One died last month and the other one a few days ago. I also know that I'm getting old by finding out that very nice places where I used to hang out when I was younger, don't exist anymore. Places where I used to go with my girlfriends for example, also don't exist anymore. They're all memories now...


Now, may I ask you a question Sir Sean Connery: Can we mature without aging?


While I wait for your answer, I'll keep thinking and trying to figure out how I managed to waste 28 years of my life...


Oh, and by the way, I'm also currently avoiding unecessary social interaction at the moment. (Yes Ana, your cousin is a very wise bloke!)

You can mature without ageing... you may not grow old that fast but you do get wiser with time. You learn great lessons from life that help you see things differently... I am only 27 but feel like I have the knowledge and experience of a 40 year old lady... not it an old fashioned way.... just what I've lived through my youmg years that made me grow up faster that other people I guess!

PS. But I did find a couple of white hairs on my head the other day... pwarr!!

Agree, you can mature without aging. Just let something very drastic happen to you and you mature (a bit).

But the fast way of maturing is not the most healthy way, from my experience it only lets you mature partially and leaves some parts of you at a 'normal' stage.
