Do you ever feel demoralized when you realize you’re the oldest person in your area? (lemmygrad.ml)

I know you shouldn’t compare yourself to others, but hearing about people younger than you who are ahead in some areas hurts deeply

often times when kids are ahead they have things severely wrong with them whether it be industry exploitation, feeling isolated from their peers etc.

they often have something very bad coming for them too because theyre sorrounded by evil people. maybe its an evil manager, maybe its a parent who pays for their private tutoring. when you have high skills at a young age it often comes from people pouring money into you and that will come back to bite them at some point. hence why many child stars find themselves in deep financial issues later in life.

i think we become better with age and the experience we acquire. a bit of a lore drop but in my early teens i was trying to get into the music industry and had a grand plan to run away to L.A and even had contacts there and found some songwriting opportunities. im forever thankful that never took off because kids get chewed up and spit out in there...
