At 17 I didn’t have a fucking clue about the real world. I assumed I knew everything too. I didn’t have the luxury of mommy and daddy buying my everything, not having to earn a damned thing,or the audacity to try to presume I could insult my elders without having set one foot in the REAL world. By 20 I’d taken apart a nuclear reactor as part of a team and refueled it. At 24 I was delivering babies and listening to people take their last breaths knowing I was the complete stranger, I lived through 9/11 at 26 and I’m going to tell you, these kids today don’t have a fucking clue. They think that because mommy and daddy say they’re awesome they ARE. Nope. The real world is going to eat them alive, just like high school but times 10. The earth is cyclic. Research is your friend, especially when you do it on your own, for fun. Things I don’t know about, I research, by myself. It’s how you get the truth and not what others want you to believe.
