I'm often shocked at how much young children are pushed, forced, and coerced into decided everything RIGHT NOW. Seriously, I'm just lucky that I knew what I wanted to major in from a young age, many of my friends in college didn't and just chose the major that they thought they SHOULD pick. A few years later, they got everything all sorted out and wished they had a chance to do it again. And people who start having children in their early 20s astonish me! I'm 27 and still feel like a kid myself. Haha, and you are so right about looking back on our teen years and shaking our heads. Seriously....what were we thinking!!?! Oh wait, we weren't!

I feel like I've just finally reached a stage where the things I do now won't be humiliating to reflect on in ten years. I hope. (I've felt many times in the last 15 years that I knew myself and could trust my own decisions, but ended up making some pretty stupid choices that embarrass me now.) I definitely get more cautious the older I get. Enjoy the journey, Milo! So many defining choices ahead of you: cats/dogs, Elvis/Beatles, Leno/Letterman...
