A young salmon swims downriver searching for an ocean he has never seen. Eventually the riverbanks give way to a vast blue expanse. He approaches the first fish he sees and asks them where he might find the ocean. The other fish replies
“You’re in it!”
The salmon shakes his head.
“This? This is water. I’m looking for the ocean!”
The character building and customization never ends, but it’s also not something that has to be a burden. The way school and such introduces things like reading and learning or physical activity is sometimes very damaging because it gives you this impression that these things have to be work, that it’s all about deadlines and what you can get out of them instead of enjoying them for the sake of the thing.
Suffice it to say if you’re waiting to one day start your life and become who you want to be you’re missing the point. The journey is supposed to be the focus, don’t wait to start living for some lofty time you’re allowed to begin building the life you want. Start the journey for it now and find passions to savor along the way. Life doesn’t begin at 20, 30, or even 40, you just get different content so you might as well make the most of the fleeting window to enjoy the things that make life at your age special.
A long ramble, but I hope it conveys my point. Good luck!
My character is so big by now.
I guess? If it did you’d Luigi. Too comfortable for that? I’d do it too, but you first.
When does the character build/customization end so I can start playing the game?
Sorry there’s no game, just a character screen with microtransactions.
