I think, an adult, learns to prioritize, and focus on a few things, rather than spread themselves too thin.

It took me a long time to learn that. I spent most of my high school and college years trying to do everything, all the while accomplishing nothing. Now that I've accepted I can only do so much I'm less stressed out. I still have many of the possessions that tell the tale of a fool who thought he could master everything; they're reminders, I guess.



On an unrelated note, how do you find typing?
