The best relationships are not characterized by constant availability or immediate responses. Instead, they are defined by natural replies when you reach out. I do not blindly suspect you when you don't reply instantly, and you do not feel guilty for not responding immediately. Mutual trust and care are all that is needed.

Maturity is a quality, a trait that manifests externally through actions but originates internally. It is a capability, the ability to exercise self-restraint and self-management. It is an attitude, maintaining calmness in the face of everything. It is a state of mind, one that sees through all things and regards them as light as flowing water.
