Looking at my peers around me, they seem to have completely entered the mature adult world. But I often fall into self-doubt, feeling like a child imitating an adult, and my heart is still full of confusion. But if I think about it carefully, there is no fixed pattern for growth. Maybe I am transforming in a unique way. Don't rush for success. Follow the rhythm of your heart, and you will eventually meet your true and mature self.
