At 21,
you think
that you know
everything,
and the reality is,
you don’t.

At 21,
you are striving
for independence,
yet you still
need help.

At 21,
you may have
finished school,
yet your learning,
is only
just beginning.

At 21,
you think
that you know
what you want,
yet in reality,
you probably
have no idea.
