You sound young.You will change your thoughts as you age.
It's strange how age and the passage of time can change you. When I was in my 20's, I used to say things exactly like this. The further along I get into my 30's, the more I read things like this and experience the same feeling I get when reading "9/11 Truth" material.
It’s crazy to think how old I am now. But give it 20 more years and you’ll come around.
You may think differently as you get older.
I can relate to him. I used to think that adulthood was a permanent state, that I would feel the same age at 30 as I did at 20. That is not the case, I feel exactly the age that I am and I learned just as much in my last ten years as I did in the ten years prior.
i am going to guess you are somewhat young (<60). watch how your opinion shifts as you get older
"not much". at that age it's material! who I was at 18 and who I was at 23 is way different than the difference between 35 and 40
Can’t agree more. I experience and changed a lot when I was in my early 20s. Now life moves slowly.
My experience has been the same. I'm 33 and sometimes it seems that I was not even fully conscious in my 20s as I am now. Hopefully this trend will continue and someday I'll look back and think I was a naive idiot at 33. :P
It's a third of his life ago. Were you the same person at 19 as you were at 12?
