yes I said that when I was young until I got older

When I was younger, I had quite strong opinions about various things—especially about what I found 'disgusting' or unacceptable. For example, I used to say things like 'that's disgusting' without much thought, reinforcing a black-and-white view on many everyday situations. Looking back, I realize this was a natural part of growing up—a way to define my own boundaries and values. As I grew older, my mindset gradually shifted. I began to understand that what seemed unpleasant or odd in my youth could be perfectly normal or even enjoyable for others, especially those close to me like my girlfriend. The phrase I once harshly used—"eat, that's disgusting"—turned into moments of acceptance and even curiosity. Learning to embrace different perspectives not only improved my relationships but also expanded my personal growth. This journey is something many people can relate to. Growing up is not just about gaining years but about broadening the way we see the world and those around us. It’s about moving from rigid judgments toward empathy and understanding. Sharing these experiences honestly can help readers reflect on their own changing views and encourage patience with themselves as they evolve. In essence, the transition from youth to adulthood often involves challenging our initial reactions and opening up to new ways of thinking. This process, while sometimes awkward or uncomfortable, ultimately enriches our interactions and deepens our sense of connection with others.
