A phrase that almost everyone’s parents have told them at one point or another, «You’ll understand when you’re older.» It was always so frustrating to hear when I was a kid. «No, I promise I’ll understand,» I wanted to say to them. Because that’s the thing, you think you know absolutely everything at every age you’re at. And that truism isn’t just relegated to children and teenagers. Adults also think they know everything until they reach a new level of adulthood and start unlocking more knowledge. 

I like to think that we never stop growing. We never stop learning new things, improving ourselves, and trying to strive for new heights. It’s what keeps us young forever. But it’s also fun to look back and see just how much you’ve changed. There are things that we know now that we didn’t back in the day. This thread is a great collection of some of those moments.
