    i am grateful nobody was blowing smoke up my ass between 18-25, because i was full of false confidence, very wrong about everything, and could have been easily derailed into some kind of toxic wasteland by a bad actor.

    i'm not saying that's what happened here or what age gaps always are, but some totally are. human bodies reach their physical peak around their late 20s/early 30s, but the military wants 18 year olds for a reason.

    and it ain't because they tend to know what the fuck's goin' on.
