What does it mean to be young?

Why is there a sliding scale on being young? To save characters - we are jumping right into the “adult year.'“ One gets to 18 and and you are young. Get to age 21 and still young. Age 25 and your insurances is supposed drop but you are still young. Reach 30 and you guessed it - YOUNG!

Is this sliding scale handicapping those reaching for the rung of adulthood on the ladder of life. I dont know. While i want to be enthusiastic or see the brighter side of being told I look young - I cannot. I just want to live without pain or the constant suffering I see or hear about. I want to feel joy and freedom of expression without the responsibility l.

I can't because I am not young without responsibilities. I don’t have on blinders of attempting to establish myself and help others. Some days I want to be young again, but I would be returned to the world I left and I'm not sure how much or if I would do anything different.
