Make your mistakes.

We grow up, we make mistakes. We make mistakes, we grow up. These two are interchangeable, what with the ideal most have - that wisdom comes with age.

Why is it then that the older I grow the more complicated situations around me seem to become?

I see people making choices, I see their foolishness and antics and I think to myself "Oh my, they remind me of myself at that particular age." Then I will proceed with slamming them, putting them down because I see the yesterme in them.

On hindsight, I should not. Not only will it demean their experiences, but it'd also prevent them from really learning. There is such a distinct difference between advising people not to follow in my footsteps and forcing them to not follow.
