Yeah, what's this wasted my youth nonsense? I'm 24 and am smack in the middle of my youth so far as I'm concerned. I'm young, single and independent; really, there's no better situation for living it up. The way I figure it, this is the time in your life to do all the crazy shit that you won't be able to get away with once you've got a family and have settled into a career and so on.
There's an old saying that youth is wasted on the young. If I'd known what I know now during my childhood/teens, I would've done things differently for sure. Then again, if I'd done things differently then I wouldn't be who I am now.
I reckon you're 18 until at least mid-forties. Also, I'm wondering if anybody's going to understand that. I'd explain it, but y'know, I have to keep that aura of mystery going.
