I have enjoyed reading your thoughts on life. I'd recommend David Eagleman's book The Brain: The Story of You. You gave us a chronology of ages, all of which fall into that space in brain development that makes us crazy. At 25 your brain is just 'adult' enough to begin to rationalize and make good decisions. The thing is, bad decisions are your best teacher. I keep them like arrows to reuse. I can pull out that bad decision and know what not to do. Eventually, if you keep your bad decisions to a minimum, you can call yourself an adult. (using the royal YOU in discussion of the brain) My wife and I lived near SF right after we married, 45 years ago. We enjoy poetry, art, and BBQ, living in Texas now. My writing is published, and I have four books scheduled for the next two years in my name - W.D. Edmiston.
