How the hell do I answer "Are you over the age of 18?" In a complete sentence that gives more information than just "Yes"

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 12 points 8 months ago

If I'm being honest, I was born in the year of our Lord 2005 to the most amazingly loving, caring, and down-to-earth parents a child could ever ask for. At the tender age of 18, I lived life to its fullest, moved out from my parents' house, and then a year later I turned 19 for the first and only time ever. That was a turning point in my life, after which I was and forever would be over the age of 18. So yes, emphatically yes, I am indeed over the age of 18.

I am 40 years old, a milestone that feels both refreshing and reflective, as I look back on the transformative journey of my life, filled with experiences that have shaped my character and values, from the carefree days of my youth spent exploring the world around me to the challenges and triumphs of adulthood that have taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, love, and the importance of pursuing my passions.

I am 40 years old, a milestone that feels both refreshing and reflective, as I look back on the transformative journey of my life, filled with experiences that have shaped my character and values, from the carefree days of my youth spent exploring the world around me to the challenges and triumphs of adulthood that have taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, love, and the importance of pursuing my passions. In my early years, I reveled in the blissful ignorance of childhood, where every day was an adventure waiting to be discovered, whether it was climbing trees in the backyard, riding my bike down sunlit streets, or losing myself in the pages of fantastical stories that ignited my imagination.

As I transitioned into adolescence, the world became more complex, filled with the bittersweet pangs of first love, the pressures of academic expectations, and the quest for identity that so many navigate during those formative years. It was during this time that I first encountered the idea of failure—not just as a concept, but as a real experience that would become a teacher in my life. Each setback, whether it was not making the sports team or facing rejection from a friend, served to fortify my spirit, teaching me that resilience is not merely about bouncing back, but about growing stronger through adversity and embracing the lessons that come with it.

Entering adulthood brought its own set of challenges, as I pursued higher education and embarked on my professional journey. I vividly remember the sleepless nights spent studying for exams, the excitement of landing my first job, and the subsequent realization that the working world was not always as glamorous as I had imagined. Yet, it was through these experiences that I discovered my true passions, whether it was championing causes close to my heart, forming lifelong friendships, or falling deeply in love, all of which have added layers to my understanding of what it means to live a fulfilling life.

Now, at the age of 40, I find myself standing at a crossroads, where the wisdom gained from years of experience coexists with an eagerness to continue exploring new horizons. I am reminded that life is not a linear path but rather a winding road filled with unexpected turns and delightful surprises. With each passing year, I am more inclined to embrace the unknown, to seek out opportunities that spark joy, and to invest time in the relationships that enrich my life. As I reflect on my journey thus far, I am filled with gratitude for the myriad experiences that have shaped me and a sense of excitement for the adventures that still await on the horizon.
