Both can be hold at a young age, though.

Yeah, I know how 'young think they know everything' and people do get wiser with the age, but it's not uncommon to see it younger too. And it's not even that fun.

Being emotionally developed but not too serious is the way to go :p
Oh absolutely, my brother is 7 years younger than me and I'm looking up to him, sometimes :D

Your perception of what's fun is subjective though, i had lots of fun when i was much younger and i have lots of fun now, although I believe I have changed a lot.

You see that change as good or bad?

What are you planning to do after you finish studies?

Is marriage in Iran in crisis?

Random, I know, but I wanna hear the answers :D

Always good, but only subjectively because think about it, we keep changing until we are satisfied with what we are, so at least in our own eyes we change for what's better for us. For example, Andy definitely thinks he's changed for the better, but I don't think he has (joking joking) :p

I'll be on the job market next year, we'll see, I love Iran because it's home, and i love the US because it's kind, i can't know for now.

What do you mean crisis? :D

Do you sometimes see younger people behaving the way you did in the past, and think like 'pfff, ffs, what the hell are they thinking'? Because I do :D

Home is always sweet. But sometimes it's better to not look back because it's just holding you down and you can eventually only regress.

Marriage is imo in crisis, at least in this part of Europe, or maybe even whole west. It seems patriarchy made the mess in the world after the disappearence so I wonder if it's the same in your country, cause I read it didn't change much (neither did in Asia). And at this point I can't even define it tbh. I think the % of divorces in the early 90s was around 80 which continued to jump til now which is pretty scary. I don't know if it reflects the whole world. Women are taking and enjoying the power and it seems it's leading toward a destruction :p

I think the reason is divorce doesn't have as many consequences as it used to have before, especially for women, and especially in bigger cities where women work and are financially dependent (i'm talking about Iran). Also divorce has been relatively destigmatized, again especially for women. I think both are good changes in a country like Iran, regardless of its effect on divorce percentage. Another thing, people of my parents' generation or generations before had more of an instinctive mindset about the concept of marriage, that you should get married to be safe and allowed to have kids, etc, now people can achieve those without having to accept the responsibilities that come with marriage. Another contributing factor, in my opinion, is that concepts such as sacrifice, selflessness, contentment and patience as well as understanding the responsibilities that come with say having kids are no longer as integral parts of people's mindset when getting married as it was before, and it's both a man and a woman thing :p
