I know some teenagers who are more rational than people my age. So I don’t think it’s about your age or how you think. I know people who had kids at 18 and wouldn’t do anything different and that works for them. Or people who got tattoos at 16 and still love them. I moved out on my own when I was 18 and I’ve always been proud of myself. But that decision and everything after it had it’s rewards and consequences. Mostly consequences. I think it’s just that if you want something when you’re 16 and you still want it when you’re 21, then that’s probably the best time to go for it. You do a lot of growing up in between 16 and 22.. And I don’t necessarily mean growing up as in you get smarter or you change everythng about yourself. It’s just better to make certain decisions at different points in your life. There’s a time for everything. I just think some younglings think that their lives are going to be stuck a certain way if they don’t change it for themselves.. And that’s partly true except you don’t need to drastically change it when you’re 16 or 18. You’re life is going to change no matter what. You’re a teenager now, do teenager things. And when you’re in your 20’s, do 20 year old things. You just don’t want to be a 30something year old trying to live out your early 20’s because of one thing that changed your life when you were 19 and you get stuck in this mind set that you never got to experience being a kid. You want to be a 30something year old doing 30something year old things. And I think at any age, you still have to be careful of any life altering decision. You’re a smart kid. Make smart choices, have fun, be safe and my best advice is to not make a life altering decision before you’re in your 20’s.I was thinking about that post you put up about the “21 rule” and I think I’m going to follow it. I mean, that’s when the brain reaches near max development, making life altering choices a little bit more sensible rather than what irrational teenagers do.
Wise words.
