Let me tell you, I'm old enough. Apparently I have the mind of a 78 year old. Trust me, I loathe drink, the implications behind it and what it has destroyed in my life. Sure I've tried it, but beyond that, I won't touch it at all. Everyone says the same to me, I'll grow into it or grow out of it, but years have passed with no difference.
You're right, but all the wise words in the world can't change what simply is. I'd like to be a Japanese Translator but finding a Japanese course where I am is almost unheard of. It's the worst feeling in the world, knowing what you want to do yet being met with dead ends.
