Oh boy. Don’t waste it. The days are long and the years are short as they say. Health, health, health. It gets away from you if you don’t take care of it every day. Family, nurture your family as they will be the only ones there for you when nobody else is. Hone your expertise and rock it at work to make
your work journey a fruitful one. Enjoy everything!

Are you still single? If yes, maybe focus some time on finding someone for the long haul.

You realize that after a certain age, it’s not grooming? It’s just two adults having fun?

A 19 year old usually likes to stay up late, party, try new things. Isn’t looking for marriage or worrying about if she needs to get started on having kids.

And yes it’s silly, but it’s a mild ego boost to be with someone who is impressed by the fact that you’re at least moderately successful.

That’s all, nothing nefarious or manipulative.

To enjoy your life best, just don't compare your life with others.
Good luck

This isn’t exactly the question you asked, but I’ve so far spent my 30s, in part, doing what I didn’t do throughout my 20s: Saving/investing for retirement.

Family: SO, parents, siblings, nephews/nieces, etc. I let the job take over my 20s and start of my 30s. Now job is a lower priority if my life as long as I am developing and meeting financial goals. When you get fired and realize your health and family is not there because you left them behind long time ago you shift perspective.
