      I used to be. But when I turned 30 I realized that I wasn’t properly sane until I was in my late 20s.

      We’ve figured out that brains don’t finish maturing until around 25. So to me, 21 is a compromise.

        I wasn’t properly sane until I was experienced. Ive seen sheltering make for stupid 30 year olds snd I’ve seen a 21 year old on her second kid who seemed to have it shockingly together. But I also come back to the stance of freedom for adults.

          Indeed. But the question to me is, when are they an adult? We have to pick some fairly arbitrary age, and to me 18 seems young.
