It's funny when today,  I re-read my own writing [10 Things I have learned the hard way before 20](https://steemit.com/life/@macchiata/10-things-i-learned-the-hardway-before-20) and it reminds me, I am still in early twenty. I don't really bother much about my age and always thought it's amusing , especially when people at the coffee shop or bar thought I was in my mid twenty. I always let people judge based on my appearance or the way I talk. I  also let them think whatever they want. I can be any number, cause it doesn't really matter.

# What being Young means to me?

I think being young means I am going to have a lot of failures and having more time to try things. I think It's okay to be confused but I'd not forget to make a decision.  It's also better to always see the positive side of failures while we're young,else we would stuck in the same loophole. I have had the privilege of tasting the darkness and I don't think I want it no more. 

It is also true, that being young means we're going to be limited financially.  But so far, our society has shifted, I have seen and know many youngsters are earning decently. There are couple of ways generating income these days, all you have to do is be creative and always upgrade your skills.Unfortunately, even youngsters  are capable of earning as early as possible, it goes with the habit of consumerism.I _was_ a part of it too. But that was something I have to stop as I was turning  twenty, realizing I had zero saving. 

That was an important thing I have learned. _Saving matters_. You would never know if one day you'd go absolutely broke. Besides, I am not a fan of kneeling myself down to my parents(s) or my sibling(s) for a help. I'd go homeless and hungry if I have to. Thus far, that was how I was learning a little bit about life.

Most importantly, I think I have yet to figure shit in my life. I am not even sure of things I do sometimes. All I know is seize every opportunity in front of me, while trying to make small changes here and there.

# For all the young steemian out there, 
If you see something in society that bothers you, do something about it.
You might never know  the little thing you do, will impact the society in a bigger scale.
Recognition does not matter.
What matter is, the world becomes the place you want it to be, possibly a better place.
