old enough to know better, too young to care

Being a legal adult puts a lot of pressure on some people. I know that I am responsible for my actions. I know that I should be able to make adult decisions, and I know what is right versus what is wrong.  I believe that I am old enough to know better; then again most of people my age are too young to care. We do our best to fly under the radar and try our best not to get caught. Most of us don’t care to follow the rules or laws. We are careless and therefore get caught. I do not believe most people my age are old enough to know, cause if we were, we would be staying out of trouble and our records wouldn't be filled with violations like possession or minor consumption tickets. I have had my careless moments in life, I'll admit that. It isn't everyday that certain opportunities come knocking at your door. I do believe that I know better but sometimes the devil on my shoulder will get the best of me. We aren't all perfect. I guess what I am trying to say is that we all want moments to remember but we shouldn't be careless. We have to watch our back. We do learn from mistakes but a careless attitude will make mistakes pile up. Our attitudes tell a story and you don't want to have a careless attitude. I believe a person can fill their life full of memories without being careless. Watch what you do, you want to learn from mistakes not let them haunt you.
