Just a thought
As I was scrolling thru twitter, I realize many of my retweets were from people younger then me, to be more exact, around 16-17? It got me thinking back then was I as open as they are now, and my answer is yes.
But I also realize one thing, as I'm older, I close up a lot. Well many not just me, surrounding me are people who have close up too. Whatever happens to the opening up and also being yourself?I guess that doesn't happen in adulthoods any more. Reason being, there always a price to pay for everything you say. Now, I understand how did this idiom 童言无忌 comes from.
Because you are young, any statement you made, be it offensive or confessing, it doesn't really matters to others. Reason being, ur statement made will just be regards as immaturity in e adulthood's world even if you are just being frank.
As one grows up, you will realize no. Things no longer work this way. For every word and statement you've said or made, you have to pay a price for it. There is no such thing as taking back what you say, but what you say as of this moment, would be how others gonna judge you for the rest of your life.
This is also why, many a times We often hesitates to send out why we have to say to another person. Because one wrong thing say, you will be expecting the unexpected, and for that it can cause you to pay a lot. Of course, it might just be otherwise.
