Well it got me thinking, as someone in their mid-twenties, have I grown up? My hair is still changing colors regardless of my requirements at work. I'm someone's "boss" can I be taken seriously, do I contribute enough the way I should? When is it time for me to not dye my hair, not go out and drink until 4 in the morning, when should I stop my childish behavior and stop what I've been doing?

It's Time to Grow Up
I just watched a really good movie. "Standing Still." The cast was very good, and the direction was really well taken. It was this particular director's debut movie. The movie focuses on a group of mid-twenty somethings attending the weeding of two of their friends. Its all of these wonderfully developed and written characters working through their own bullshit and coming to terms with being "an adult" The age when you can't just claim youthful mistakes, and you have to start taking stock of your own actions and identity.

Dyeing your hair isn't childish. Never has been, never will be. At some point walking around with blue hair is pretty ridiculous, but changing your hair color is like changing the way you dress...Sometimes you evolve and you need a change.
Going out and drinking until 4AM is done by 18 year olds and 48 year olds alike. The only difference is the 48 year olds can't do it all the time without serious repercussions. We don't have to give up the basic human urge to have fun, we just need to develop the ability to do stuff like that in moderation.
If you can foster healthy relationships with people you love and evolve as a person, you're growing up. No box of hair dye will stunt that.
