In a society that is perpetually hooked on stereotypes and assumptions, age-related myths abound. As part of our commitment at Monko, we attempt to debunk some of these pervasive myths. Let’s unravel the one that says, “You can only enjoy life if you’re 21+”.
The Foundation of the 21+ Myth
One can trace the origins of the 21+ myth back to various cultural and societal norms. For instance, in several parts of the world, the law deems an individual as an adult at the age of 21. Consequently, several privileges and legal rights only get conferred upon individuals once they reach this age milestone. For many, this misleads into confusing legality with the capacity for enjoyment, leading to the myth that life only truly begins at 21.
Age is Just a Number
The phrase “age is just a number” may be hackneyed, but it nonetheless holds plenty of truth. Too often, we focus excessively on our age rather than the experiences and opportunities that life presents. It cannot be overemphasized that fun, growth, and adventure do not have an age limit. Realizing this can be an empowering transformation.
Monko’s Stand On The Myth
At Monko, we believe that every age presents unique opportunities for enjoyment and self-discovery. We advocate a perspective where age is seen not as a limitation or license, but an individual journey. Monko’s philosophy places emphasis on the attitude, experiences, and values one brings to their life at any age.
Unleashing the Potential, Regardless of Age
We invite you to join us, regardless of your age, in debunking this 21+ myth. Embrace every new phase of life with enthusiasm and a positive mindset, because contrary to what mainstream culture may want you to believe, you don’t have to be 21+ to relish the bounties of life.
