I feel that maturity is over-rated, in any event.

Agreed. You're only young once but you can be immature forever. Personally I try not to make any concessions to age. That being said I've had to adapt to various orthopedic and health issues to keep on keeping on. Can't run anymore but thankfully I can cycle hard and long enough to scratch my itch.
I guess I've said this before, but it bears repeating: When I hop on my bicycle after work, I become an 8 year-old boy in a 52 year-old body. My cares melt away with each stroke of the pedals, and a sense of adventure takes hold. I can ride like that for hours; exploring, taking photos, stopping for ice cream... Maturity is for old people. Borrowing an aphorism from the motorcycle folks: You don't stop riding when you get old - You get old when you stop riding.
