When you’re a kid the world is easy right? Nothing can get in your way as long as your parents are around and taking care of you and your stupid needs. As you grow older you start to realise what life is really about and you abandon most of the dumb stuff you thought was so important as a kid, but when you hit that 20 age, right after college usually, that’s when life really kicks in and let you have it.
