Maturity plays a much more important role than age. Some people are never fit to marry, some have what it takes by the time they are 16/17. It's not often that it plays out well for the youngest ones, and since each year brings new experiences and understandings each year moves along the bell curve of "marriage readiness". So is it more likely that a 24 year old is more ready for marriage than a 18 year old. Yes. Is it guaranteed? No. I know some 50/60 year olds that still aren't ready for marriage. They just never learned the skills it takes to have a healthy marriage. Giving an age as a hard cutoff is too arbitrary a measure. Age doesn't guarantee shit.

24yo people don't see themselves as children. This post is probably coming from a 40yo person.

As a 27yo, I'm still trying to figure out how to better organize myself. I was one of those kids that never had to take notes in school

And now that's coming back to bite me, because I'm completely new to note-taking, but am working on large 20yo code bases with tons of tech-debt and spaghetti madness. Along with tons of technical jargon in a completely different field. I just can't keep all that in my head anymore

The point is, i feel like an adult in certain aspects, and a child in others
