    That’s cute

    If you think most 24 year olds have got it together and know who they themselves are let alone what they want for the rest of their lives, you’re in for a rude awakening.

    Yeah maybe you know what you want at that point but that implies you don’t continue to change and grow yourself. Part of the “you don’t know what you really want” is based on the fact that you are still shaping who you will be and thus your wants will shift in turn

      I don’t think most 24 year olds have it together. I don’t think most people have it together, period. That’s the human condition.

      But if 24 isn’t old enough to make long-term decisions for yourself, when is? Which arbitrary amount of experience is sufficient?

      I’ve been making long-term, life-altering decisions for myself since long before I was 24. They weren’t always the best decisions in hindsight, but they made sense at the time. But isn’t that how everyone does it?
