Idk about you, but once I was mature enough, I was no longer nearly as physically capable, or dumb enough.

I wonder how hard would it be to teach yourself maturity?? Or is it just impossible. Like if you were 18 again like I am but you have the maturity of current you

It’s impossible, and you don’t want to rush it, I promise you that. Being young and dumb is a rite of passage.
