A lot of times when you're young and carefree, you don't realize, when you tip over the edge, how difficult it is to climb back in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Easier to climb up, than to just hang on.
You have to be young to be able to do things like that. Now I'm more cautious. I'm proud that I was able to do what I did - psychologically it was a great wall to climb - but sometimes I regret it.
I wish I had the nerve not to tip.
Getting to the top is not so easy; staying there is more difficult.
When you are growing up, everyone will help you. When you reach the top, everyone will start pulling you down. The same people who help you will be the same people who try to pull you down.
There's a constant tension in climbing, and really all exploration, between pushing yourself into the unknown but trying not to push too far. The best any of us can do is to tread that line carefully.
The trick is growing up without growing old.
Bending over backwards does not bring you the love and attention you crave, but having your own life, your own goals and a backbone will.
When you're young, when you've never done anything very much on your own, you imagine that it won't be so hard.
People get nervous driving around corners, thinking they're going to tip over. But you can go soooo much faster through the curves than you realize.
