Pick Me Up! Special

No! He’s young and he wants to spread his wings! Why would you stop him? He has decades ahead of him in which to be ‘settled down’, and to be honest, the thought of that probably fills him with dread (I was the same in my early twenties). Far better to let him get his wanderlust out of his system in order that he gets to a stage where he wants to start creating some security and stability for himself. Give him your blessing, buy him a rucksack and let him go. He’ll come back when he’s ready and that will probably be when he’s sick of an intransien­t lifestyle doing meaningles­s jobs and decides he’s ready to make his mark on the world.
