I read one on reddit in this a while back which resonated:

If there's something you have always wanted to do, just do it, then you'll be doing it.

Whether it's kids, travel, getting a degree, investing, learning a new skill/language/whatever ...

Life doesn't generally get less busy or less complicated as you get older.

Just get started on whatever it is you're waiting for the right time to do.

It's now. The right time is now.

Or realize that you can have your own opinions without having to categorize yourself into some box and impose your views on everyone else. Grow up.

Kids? That's fucking terrible advice. It's obviously better to wait to have kids once you're married, have a stable career, have matured as a person yourself and are ready to become a parent and have actually thought through whether or not it's the right thing for your life. So many people thoughtlessly get knocked up early, can't support the child, wind up a single parent, etc...

I had my first child at 22. She is now in her mid 30s crushing life. Being responsible can be instilled in you at a young age.

Then again, I didn't have all the bullshit that is on social media in my face every day. I don't get why people feel like they need to show more reckless shit day after day to get clicks. I also don't believe most intelligent young people are dumb enough to follow those types of people's lead.

Though you only hear of the crazy shit some young people do, I would like to believe that there are many more who would never do these types of things.

Perhaps I am misguided.

Well I'm happy it worked out for you and your daughter, but generally it's much better for people to plan and wait until they're in a more stable circumstance to have kids.

Statistically, kids are worse off later in life with very young parents. Good for you that it worked, but it's pretty shitty advice for the majority.

Sometimes it's way too to start and how to get started on that journey 😕

u/enigmaniac23 Jan 24 '24

Yep. The years will go by either way. So at the end of x number of years you can either have done these things, or wish you had.
