Old man advice time (I just passed my twenties) Don't let your age define you, don't define others by their age. Growing up, you are basically told that age is how people will identify you, and it's stupid. I spent my entire childhood and teenhood asking people and telling people how old I was. After a while, it doesn't matter. Some of the smartest most well spoken people I've met have been high schoolers. Some of the meanest most cruel people I've met were old enough to participate in Vietnam. You know which people you should be concerned about? The one who brushes your teeth in the morning. Do not let other people put you into the "age box" push out, be yourself, and be unashamed of it.I'm pretty new to Hubski, and it seems like most of you out there are 20+. But people keep telling me to "find some friends [my] own age" and "stop annoying the college kids,"
My mom? I am concerned about her! Nah, I'm just kidding. Thanks for the advice. I've felt a little bit constrained by my age for a while, but you're right, that's something I've implicitly accepted. I'll be thinking about this more.The one who brushes your teeth in the morning.
I kind of hate giving advice, because it makes me feel like I know better when I really don't. Its really just a reflection of my own experiences, I have just found that the less concerned you are about the age of someone the more people allow you to connect with them.
