Much of my youth was spent with sinful, vain, and materialistic pursuits, and I invested little into my own skills, ethics, and faith.As a late-bloomer, I did not learn to use common hand tools or cut grass, let alone garden, until within the last 3-4 years. I was a slovenly NEET for a long time, and now I'm too stunted to talk to women, or even try. For now, at least.And it's entirely my fault for being so nonchalant in the first place.I like to tell my younger brother, who is still in his early 20s, not to squander those years -- sadly, it seems it's a part of our culture to be ruthlessly idle, and you know what is (or used to be) said about idle hands.</blockquote>
