Growing up

When I look at the people around me, close friends especially, I notice the changes, the differences, and I start to realise and acknowledge that they are growing up, maturing in their own way, well right on the track to the bright future I know each one of them would have...

But when I look at myself, I wonder if I'm going anywhere...

I feel like I'm still the same stupid 16/17 year old I once was..

I feel stuck where I am;

I wonder if I've matured any bit at all;

I wonder if I'm even going to have a bright future at all..

Denial on my part, that I'll be turning 22 soon, perhaps?
