I know there are girls who exist with some amount of confidence. They aren’t dating. Or they’re not dating the wrong people. They’re doing what they do and enjoying it with no thought of anyone but themselves. And that’s not to say that they’re selfish. They’re not selfish. They’re self-aware. That’s an important thing to be when you’re young.
I’m self-aware these days. But it took me a long time to get here. I dated. And I dated the wrong people. And I was stupid about a lot of things for whatever reason. I’d like to go back and change things, but we all know that back pedaling in a life is impossible. So here I am now. Self-aware and working my way through my 30s.
One’s 30s seem too old for self-awareness. If youth is wasted on the young, then self-awareness is also wasted on the young. At least some of them. Good on them, I guess. Though I can’t help but to be mildly jealous.
