Love doesn't necessarily pay your bills

Or "What people tend to learn the hard way between ages 15 and 30 usually". But I suppose some never learn this lesson which is a hard one anytime you have to learn it.

So, in the end being practical about keeping yourself and potentially a significant other alive through anything you go through might be important to learn sooner rather than later.

Though I could be very very practical more than most people I knew as a young man 12 and above. Still, the hard truth of practicality often broke my heart too between 15 and 30 years of age.

But, sooner or later we all have to learn these lessons or we are no more and all of us who have lived past 30 have seen a lot of this among our friends  unfortunately too.

So, not everyone makes it through these times. Some do and most do in one form or another. But, often it is really not fun to watch friends go down in flames and often there is nothing you can do that is going to make it better for them either.

Because this is just called "Growing up" which doesn't end with being 18 because "Growing up" also happens the rest of your life if as long as you survive too.
