So true, girl, that biological age isn't an indicator of much most times. I am am almost a couple decades a head of ya, and have wondered this same question: how do you know when you're grown. I know that personally, I will never stop growing and evolving until the day I die. It's just my nature. Over the last few years, I have decided that "being grown" is more of a cultural illusion.
I think a more pertinent question is, how do you know when you're at peace. Those demons you are describing - I have some of my own. We all do. I think when you come to terms with them and let them all pass out of your system and being, that is where the peaceful place begins, and it's the springboard for one to leap to great things.
I love the honesty and realness of this piece, Da1. I am feelin ya on many levels, and I am glad you wrote this. Sendin you peace and love as you continue on your path, girl.
