I'm "mature for my age" but am I mature or did I just have to grow up too fast due to trauma? Analyze my "maturity": what makes me mature? Where did it come from? Then expose: maturity from development is healthy; maturity from trauma is survival. Map my maturity markers and reality-check: am I ahead in development or am I just performing adult while dying inside? Show me where maturity is genuine growth vs. where it's childhood stolen by trauma. Reveal: being mature for your age isn't always a compliment - sometimes it's evidence of loss. Include: whether I'm mature or just traumatized, what I lost to become "mature," and if this is development or damage.
