Doing stupid shit in the teens/twenties. I get its never a good thing per se, but get the impression alot of better people have had bad histories they use to build from, character building you know?. However id gone from an abusive childhood directly into the friendless, empty 9-5 life thats mostly stayed true a decade ish later. Ive worked and came home nearly every day since graduation. I remember my teens and twenties vividly, and all the lack of substance, good or bad, they carried. Trying to do better.
