The best thing about being young, is that time seems forever. You can act stupid, and be stupid because there's always a sense you'll turn things around.
But especially after the age of 25, that kind of behaviour gets risky. And if you aren't careful, you can blink and find yourself on the other side of 30, stuck in the type of patterns that will ruin you. And suddenly, time seems to start speeding up. It's not that the patterns can't be broken, after 30, but it becomes exponentially harder to do.
Invariably, there will be a moment that one looks back upon, in that 20/20 hindsight, and recognize an opportunity in their youthful ignorance that was a wasted. A wasted chance that will affect every subsequent 'should I or shouldn't I' decision.
If you're lucky, you figure it out. If you aren't, it's just a matter of time before you're likely find yourself in the correctional system.
This episode features people at varying points, in this journey. It's a tough watch.
