I firmly believe that every six years, a person goes through a serious change. Think about it: At 6, you start school. At about 12, you start hitting puberty. And then it goes on. You start hitting these different mental levels, and people change. I think that’s part of the reason the divorce rate is so high.
I was so awkward and gangly, and went through puberty way too young – I got really self-conscious about it.
I went through puberty late. I was a little, little, tiny kid. I was still growing in college.
I feel like I know so little, and I just hope I get to live so long. I came to puberty late; it’s all been late.
