God, it's funny what you said about growing up was almost exactly what i wanted to post, you beat me to it
I'm meeting so much new people these days, and they all have a story, some wisdom here and there (sometime without themselves even recognizing this) and much more respect an mutual friendliness than i'd ever expect.
Different people grow in all sorts of different directions, watch them, listen to what their saying, what is their experience through life, accept and work with what's there in the moment, in front of you.
