Sometimes my brain hits me with the most mundane memories, and even those bring comfort & nostalgia at times. Trying to appreciate all the little things and enjoy the moment.

Friend, you're 20. The concept of "potential" being "wasted" at this point in your life is non existent. You're still right at the start of the journey. Don't dwell on what you think you might have missed yesterday. Make a plan for tomorrow.

I agree with your statement, @crummysocks is 20 and at the start of a long journey, but it does not feel that way to him, it didn't to me in my 20s either.

Honestly, the oldest I ever felt (feeling that time was slipping away) was 25 and that was last century. It took me to 30 to realise life was just beginning.

Ha so true... I realized it wasn't too late around 35ish

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
