arrested development could be used to describe both me and my architectural ambitions
there's a certain absorption of the status quo that goes into maturity; one 'accepts' to be a part of the 'adult world', so there's an aspect of 'I'm a big kid and I'm just not having it!' probably goes into inventiveness

It's been said that age is a very high price to be paid for maturity.

love that quote, especially 'profoundly ordinary'

similar idea:

“Moderation in all things, including moderation.”

when do you know you are mature?

Is it something you wake up one day and, "hey - from now on, i'm mature damnit"

or perhaps as you blow out the candles on the 30th year to the day of your birth a switch flickers in your brain...kids time is over!

a young new generation free thinker is great as long as s/he has ambitions to pay their own way...:) No moochers damn it.
