it always makes me laugh when 21 yr olds freak out about not being some titan of industry with a marriage, a mortgage, and a family.

most people aren't even really adults until around 35. My observation anyway.

Haha no you’re right, I can definitely acknowledge how silly it sounds when at that point you’ve barely been treading long in life

But I also in that moment, that’s all the experience you have, so it’s everything to you

You're (probably) doing fine. Super young people that make it big usually pay a price. sort of like an olympic athlete. they train all day, everyday. And then at the end they're depressed because it's over.

meanwhile, plenty of people their age didn't get a medal, but lived lives they're quite happy with.

is the price worth it? it depends on you. But, I'd say for vast majority of people the answer is probably no.
