Things are rapidly changing in the world, you get used to changes so much you don't notice them.
I have known Chris Steffanetti and Cameron Dicks For 2 years or more now. I met them both when they were sixteen, they both were stereotypical frothing grommets with blonde mops and they didn't have a worry in the world. They were both competing in club competitions and were surfing everyday of the week.
When Chris started studying for TEE I think he surfed about once every month, he was studying like 5 hours a day 5 days a week or something ridiculous along those lines.
Chris Turned 18 about a week and a half ago and Cameron is going on 18 sometime in December. They have both acquired their drivers licence and own their own cars. Chris Passed his TEE exams and is now studying at University, Cameron is finishing up Year 12 and already has plans to start his own business and then travel the world. They both shaved those long gold locks off, have (kinda) matured alot and are both young adults.
What's the point? I don't want to have all these responsibilities on my head. I don't want to be unfree. I never want to grow up.
