yeah, i was surprised when i counted it out to find it was 27 that I changed directions that I decided as 18 year old. so 9 year run. I also just realized i'm at the end of a 9 year run so maybe change is in the air at 36.
i def agree about brain development. I think it started then and finished up around 33. that was probably later than most people. either that or the experiential part finished up around 33. I feel like i've spent the last 3 years digesting lessons learned in the last 9 years.
