Honestly man, as I'm watching these videos and listening to you and your thought process, I'm able to see a little bit of myself in you. I listened to how you said you're super enthusiastic about what the future holds. At this point, if I could give you any advice, I would say that in order to give that 'old wise man' advice from personal experiences you've had once you get to that age, you need to experience those experiences. There's a book by a dude named Donald Miller called A Million Miles in a Thousand Years(really great book btw), and basically the guy talks about an experience he had that reignited his life. He didn't feel like his life was going anywhere and through a series of pretty fortunate events, he went through a journey that taught him how a person can only do as much as they take the effort to do. Obviously God will open and close doors in someone's life according to his glorious plan, but to utilize the open doors, you gotta walk the steps through it.
I get what you are saying but I’m a much less hopeful way. I find myself wanting to talk to adults at an event and not wanting to be around kids and I know I’m old enough for that to be totally acceptable, I just never thought I’d be the person who would have told little me to go play with the other kids.

I’ve been ready to be an old man for quite sometime.
