Maturity - Blog Posts
I recently had an epiphany about the nature of adulthood. It's kind of like an oak tree.
In botany, the term "tree" does not describe a type of plant. In fact, many different plant groups have evolved into "trees". The term "tree" is a description of a shape/lifestyle that plants can take so you wouldn't really call a freshly sprouted acorn a tree yet. It is a sapling. I think adulthood is similar but kind of the opposite.
Adulthood is not a description of shape but a description of behavior. I have seen many adults who still acted quite childishly and many supposed children who act very adult-like. And no I am not meaning adults who have fun or otherwise don't fit society's arbitrary description of adult behavior.
To better define it, adult behaviors are ones that are motivated by an understanding of the existence of self, and an understanding of the existence of others.
Adults understand that they, themselves, do exist. They understand that they can perform actions that will change their environment. They know that those actions will have consequences. They know that those consequences will, in turn, impact themselves. I have seen many adult-shaped people who did not understand this and thus acted as though they were not under the effect of their own actions, which is untrue. I have also seen many adult-shaped people who acted as though they could not perform any actions to cause a change in their environment which is untrue. Both of these behaviors are very childish.
But to clarify, I am not talking about people who are struggling. I am not talking about people who don't know what to do. I am not talking about people who are trapped in terrible situations with little chance of escaping without outside help. I am saying that if you are asking questions like "What will I do?" or "What am I doing?" or "How will I get out of this?", then, by those very questions, you are displaying one-half of the mentality that proves that you are an adult.
The other half is the understanding of the existence of other people. Other people exist, and on the surface, many adult-shaped people will claim to understand this, but they don't understand it. They know it, and they hate it. They disregard or don't understand the fact that other people exist and are just like themselves. They are people who can affect their world and cause change, who have their own view of the world and feel things just like everyone else.
It is the combination of these lines of thought that leads to more adultlike thinking. Such complex thoughts like "If other people exist and are as unique as I am, then I have probably felt things that other people haven't felt, and other people have felt things that I could never understand. Both of these things co-exist and are both okay. Experiences that I don't understand are still valid." This kind of thinking is what makes you an adult. If you cannot think like this then you are not an adult, but an adult-shaped child.
Anyway, thanks for reading.

Cougars 🥰
Indeed
Many shy loving wives become cougars around 50, and start teasing young guys. The thrill of being flirted with by someone half their age has such a positive impact on their ego and self image that they become hyper sexual again like in the first year of marriage. We both enjoy when she flirts and seduces guys in their 20’s and 30’s. It’s fun, exciting and an ego boost for us both, not to mention she comes to bed with ME supercharged and has become much more open minded and confident! Discuss and agree upon boundaries and then let her flirt.
Truth!
Absolutely true
Similar to Stacy. Mature beauty, cleavage, wedding ring, flirty and seductive. The college aged guys can’t control their selves when she’s around.
Reminds me of Stacy. The mature and classy innocent look that everyone knows isn’t innocent. The classy way she dresses. There isn’t a 20 something in sight that can hide his bulge when she is around.

Beautiful, classy and sexy MILF
This is so underrated nowadays. Your grandparents were likely this way and your grandpa was probably happy to work hard and provide for the family in a way that took the burden off everyone else. Respect and appreciation goes both ways! Modern women have a certain entitlement that puts resentment in the mind of men. Well if you’re going to compete with him verbally, then compete by helping pay bills. You want a man that takes care of you? Then take care of him!
How to be a Good Submissive Wife
1. Cook lots of healthy food for the family to help them stay big and strong.
2. Always wear pretty dresses.
3. Always wear pretty clothes and be clean, fresh and well groomed.
4. Never take birth control, children are a blessing.
5. Keep the house beautiful, clean and bright. Make it a peaceful home.
6. Help him relax after work by waiting at the door to greet him.
7. Be a good mommy to all the babies and never shout or get cross.
8. Be good, quiet, doting and adoring when in public. Let the whole world see how good a wife you are.
9. Stay fit and healthy, so you’re body is always ready to make another baby.
10. Never ever say no to him. He knows best, so you must trust his judgement and do as he says.
11. Be a good girl when out and about.
12. Be proud to be carrying his babies and don't hide the baby bump. Enjoy being pregnant by him. This is what you were born for.
13. Tell him your problems. Don’t let them make you unhappy, frowny or grumpy. He will know how to fix them.
13. Tell him every how much you love and appreciate him.
14. Love and look after his extended family, he likes knowing you respect and care for them.

Cosmic intelligence is the same intelligence that creates the stars, planets, trees, flowers, mammals, and man. It also operates within human consciousness. It courses through the mind to direct its development. The mature state recognizes its part in the fundamental flow of life. Existence is made up of three states or identities. The first state is at a lowest level. To be whole requires advancement from the original base state through two more states of mind. The unconscious state begins in an animal nature (ego) that is self-absorbed. It wants its needs met and uses others to meet those needs. It is characterized by three traits: insensitivity to others, ignorance of the mind’s life cycle, and indifference to its impact on the environment. The ego lacks basic awareness of interconnections among things, how each fits into the other. It fails to put things in a context where meaning is revealed through relations of one thing to another. It is unable to see parts as belonging to the interdependent wholeness of life. A universal current flows through all three states of existence to fix them on a timeline. In terms of self-awareness, the ego that is unconscious is urged to reach the second state of human nature (self). This state of mind is aware of its impact on others and on the world. It takes responsibility for its own growth. Open to mythical communication, it seeks unity. Conscious of being conscious, it is attuned to inner directives that upgrade perception until the ideal vision manifests. By assimilating the whole truth, the subject becomes the Object (divine humanity). The popular translation for the endgame is “to be made in God’s image.” Enlightened awareness manifests as human goodness.
The first mind does not know it doesn’t know. The second mind is ready to let symbols and insights teach it what there is to know. In short, the first mind does not know it. The second mind does know it. The third mind not only knows it but becomes it.
