Kinda scared me that most people said 18. I'm 18 right now and I wish I was 40 (even though I'm not there yet) because I've always envied old people to have less self-doubt. Why would you want to be an insecure teenager again? Damn, I already know the answer. I should be enjoying things at a young age but I am so sorry that it's hard for us teenagers to understand that. Someone reply to me and give me a quick answer as to why old people appear to be more confident but they still make mistakes?
Well deary, 40 isn't that old. I'm not there yet either, but I'm over thirty and I can tell you that the older people just have more life experience, obviously. They've learned what's important and what's just petty crap that isn't worth the time. Sometimes I think adults just seem more confident in the eyes of insecure teenagers, when in reality we may just be better able to carry ourselves unsuspiciously. We have different concerns, obligations and responsibilities in life now that can make us less than confident at times but thats life. You'll see, its not so bad.
So anyway we do still make mistakes and always will, as we continue to grow and learn til we die. So we learn from our mistakes and are thereby able to advise based on the outcome of our own experiences. Some of the kids these days, and in all the generations prior, believe that the older generations are idiots who can not possibly relate to "today". Pfff rubbish. Times may always be changing but feelings and emotions and all that are still the same, and we've been through it.
Ohhh you said a quick answer. Pff well I don't take orders from teenagers! Oh but you did birdy, since you replied and all. But did you answer the question or just babble a bit? I dont know birdy, i dont know :( ok then.
If you could be a certain age for the rest of your life, what is it?
