What I find disconcerting about being 20 is how many people my age are already so successful. Some are celebrities (not a fan of celebrities but they make bank), owners of popular websites, creators of new businesses, going to school earning high-paying degrees, some are even married... and I'm just doing my thing. I often feel like I should have put more effort into doing something earlier in my life.
You're only 20? You're still young enough to do anything. At 26, I finally realized that I'm still young enough to do anything. I just wished I would have realized it when I was still 20, instead of moping around, "just doing my thing." Trust me, I've said to myself on a yearly basis, "I feel like I should have put more effort into doing something earlier in my life." Then I finally realized, I should have just shut up and done it already.
Of course, that's easier said than done. You have to know exactly what you want to do, and you have to be 100% with it. Every idea I've had, career-wise, since high school, has been replaced. I finally have a plan that I feel like I'm 100% with, but it took me till almost the age of 27 to have it. But if you talk to a lot of self made men, then weren't rich or well off at age 20 or even 27. They were slaving.
edit: I just had this epiphany one day. You'll never realize how young you are until 10 years later. When I was age 19-23 let's say, I was always thinking "It's too late to start school, I wish I would have done something earlier." Now I'm almost 27 and thinking, "Why did I not start school at age 23? I was so young!" Which made me think, I don't wanna be 37 and thinking, "Why didn't I do something when I was 27!?!" You always feel really old to yourself. And why shouldn't you? Every minute, you're exactly the oldest you've ever been. It's not until 5-10 years later that you realize how young you were.
do you like Scotland? Did you like growing up there?
