T O P I C R E V I E WBlueRoamerI realized nobody wanna hear thisMoonMystic Bring it. I'll listen. I'm not young in years but wisdom comes from everyone!DualGemV2Young is a relative term..You can have an 18yrs old that still acts like a 10yrs old and a 15yrs old thats as responsible as a 20yrs old.This is also why after you hit your mid to late 20s you have to be carefull to avoid stress.There's a diffrence between someone that ages slowly (linearly) and faster(exponentially).You can have someone like Jack Lalanne, now deceased who was in his 80s still competing against 20yrs olds and was still very much young.Or a 60yrs old that's mentally and physically as old as a 90yrs old.

Given that we have some animal lovers here, I'll share a little that I'd tell myself if I could go back in time long enough.One, when trying to bribe a vet to see a cat who will die without immediate help, be sure to bribe whoever is on the phone as well. (And just because someone works with a vet doesn't mean they care about animals, even if they do some volunteer work that can be self-serving, and likewise therapists don't always care about you either.) RandallI'd also add that I'd be as worried about someone who is happy all the time as I am about someone who is never happy. teaselI agree with a lot of that, especially that romantic love isn't the only one that's important. High school should end, but it doesn't. I've learned that I was right to keep my circle small. Don't believe gossip, and although I do think that most people are good at heart, you still have to be careful.Video games aren't terrible - they can be a good distraction, give you something to focus on/work through, and some people make their money streaming them now.

His advice was to not take anyone's advice because nobody really knows what they're doing. It was funny but I always like to think it's true.
