Now that I'm older, I think being 18 isn't so special after all.
Why so?
I don't think being rich or having a lot of impact makes you more special than anyone else.
Growing older and becoming an adult are common things that everyone goes through. Special treatment for turning 18 isn't something that should be expected.
I think we are special, the world needs some new ideas. That's my opinion.
Yes, youth brings new ideas and energy into the world, while the older generations hopefully spread wisdom. Both are valuable and necessary, neither is better than the other.
