    That thing is more about collapsing options as time moves on though. When you’re a kid you really can be ‘anything’ ignoring social and economic stuff. The probability curve is pretty open to anything at that point though. Once you’re thirty it feels squarely like that is less true and my options are clearer but more limited.

    It’s scary but also awesome that you have so many open doors as a kid and adults that say this are mostly envying something they’ve lost and didn’t appreciate or see until later
