Old people telling young people their problems aren't very significant in the universe... I hope I never get that bitter.

A person makes the choice to own a car, get married, have kids, buy a house or anything that comes with responsibility. The difficulties that come along with those choices do NOT in anyway diminish the difficulties a person, who has yet to choose or chose otherwise, may have.

I love the insinuation that to be an adult you have to live a predefined lifestyle. It's like being handed a multiple choice test and the administer tells you that you can choose anything but in the end the correct answer will always be "A".
