“I’m too young” is an excuse with a birthday. Next year, it’ll become “I’m too old.”

Too young and too old are the same excuse in different clothes, and the handover happens quietly somewhere in your twenties. Neither is really about age; both are about not wanting to be a beginner where people can see it. Age simply gives the reluctance a respectable shape.

When you catch yourself reaching for either one, swap it for what is actually true. I am not sure I would be any good at this yet. Then decide whether that is a reason to wait or a reason to start badly now.
