you’d amazed what you can teach yourself woth motivated self study as an adult though, don’t fall for that ‘your brain solidifies after 25’, I’ve learnt a lot since i started again after the age of 30
only after meeting someone who’d done the same though, i really doubted myself

That “brain matures at 25” bs is a myth that was caused by a study in brain development losing funding when its subjects (that it follwed from birth) were 25.
Concluding brain development stops there is like assuming the road ends at any point where you have stopped following it.
