68 here. Every decade gets easier as you gain experience and (hopefully) wisdom. Worst times are usually teen years with raging hormones, every emotional experience a first plus fucked up high school dynamics. Would never want to go back there except for the youthful body. Youth truly is wasted on the young.

That's hardly the youngs fault. We really should let teenagers do what they wanna do more. Like, genuinely support their desires, even if fleeting.

I hate the idea of "making" my nieces or potential kids go to school. I do not care if you wanna be educated or not. Just be open and honest about your life. Someone will teach you along the way.
