Jumping from a middle schooler to a full-on adult is a dramatic change that most people can't and shouldn't handle.

Your teenage years are a pretty confusing and stressful time of your life, and for every good memory, there’s also one bad one. You can’t get your childhood back, but that’s a good thing, because now you have the maturity and wisdom that your younger self didn’t.

Once you're well into your adult years, you kind of have to stick to a line of work or you won't be able to stay afloat.

When you get older, failing health makes up for a lot of your problems.

Most of the things that you worry about don't have direct impacts on your life. For example, failing a math test is a pretty big deal, yeah, but it's just a tiny, tiny, speck of your life. You won't even remember it in two years. You have the freedom to try and fail, and the freedom to explore what you're interested in. You're not old enough where the college application stress starts, but old enough to do the "fun stuff" that young kids want to do. Tue, 04 Apr 2023 13:14:18 -0400
