I used to think that being too bright for my age was a compliment until I realised that it wasn't; we have different perspectives on the world and have associated age with distinct qualifications and successes. I recall hearing stories about our grandparents marrying at the age of 20 and how all a man had to do was choose a trade. His family would find them a wife or two, and in retrospect, I realised that at the age of 20, I didn't have a defined path in life. And even now, in my mid-twenties, I still feel like I'm winging it.
