Except I thought I was done growing like a year ago except apparently guys can grow until they’re 21 so I’ve got a bit of time yet guys help this is getting out of control?

So like since I was in early high school I felt 100% certain I wanted to be a lawyer
I’m good at it
I’ve considered other careers but I always came back to it
Because I think I’m smart and creative enough to do other stuff but
What else is there?
And now I’ve dug myself into a hole
For the past year or two
