 Um, there is a reason you have to be at least 35 years old to be president of the United States.   
  
 And if you think it's too late,  then you are probably right.  You seem hell bent on misery.

It's not that I think all opportunities at happiness are gone after a certain age, it's just that I feel like I have not developed my personality and pursued my interests the way most people seem to have already done by 24. So I feel like I am behind.]]></description>

When I was 12-13 I dreaded moving on to being a "teenager" and still wanted to be a kid.

 24 WAS the age, for me, however, when my metabolism started slowing down, and, yes, it was depressing, as well as was a sobering reminder of my own mortality.  Prior to that, I could eat whatever junk food I wanted, and I felt sloggy, but I didn't g...]]></description>
