Life doesn't come with a manual on how to live it. Most people will say that you shouldn't do some things till you're ready financially or otherwise, but the truth is if you wait till you're ready, you will never be ready.
There are some things you just have to take a leap of faith and hope that everything will be alright. You don't have to understand it, before you do it. Do it, Understanding will come later.
You're never truly ready for life. Even at 50, most are still figuring it out. Do what you've to do without understanding it, figure life out while living it.
When you think you're prepared for it, life can still fvck you at every turn.
