  "As long as you're looking for a guarantee, you will never believe in yourself." A little highlight for me

  In other words, there are 2 mottos one in their mid 20s should go by:<br>1- &quot;fuck around and find out&quot;<br>2- &quot;fuck it we ball&quot;

  What I gathered from this is that it is increasingly ridiculous and damaging to young people to keep putting the expectation on teenagers to determine their entire life path before they even leave high school.

  I’ve noticed that quarter/mid life crises, nervous breakdowns, major depressive periods etc. usually happen to people with stronger than average thoughts, emotions and values (stronger personalities) because their internal world is much more likely to clash with their external circumstances

  This is exactly what happened to me. When I was in college, I was encouraged to go into teaching, which was a safe career for women who wanted a flexible schedule when they had a family. But it was terrible! It was so difficult for me and I hated it. In the middle of my first year of teaching, I took a 2-week trip to Europe. I loved traveling and I loved all the old buildings I saw there. I decided I wanted to be an architect. I came back, took the GRE, quit my job at the end of the year, broke up with my boyfriend (I realized we didn&apos;t share the same values in life). I moved to a new city, started architecture grad school, and threw myself into a new life. After many years of exploring different relationships and working hard in school, I&apos;m now very happily working as an architectural designer and I have an amazing husband who also loves to travel the world with me.

  Im tired. I don’t want this. I’m so exhausted. This doesn’t bring me joy. Why do I have to forcefully participate in this. It sucks

  For those who feel lost in their 20s, don&apos;t give up hope. You still have plenty of time and you never know what will come around the corner. I didn&apos;t start dating until my 30s, started performing improv comedy in my 30s, started traveling more in my 30s. I believe in you.

  The main issue is that hard work used to get you somewhere. School used to guarantee a good job, which would guarantee a house, a family, and stability. Now school puts you in massive debt, jobs dont pay enough for even rent, a loaf of bread costs 10 bucks, the world is on fire, and getting a date is impossible. We&apos;ve been separated from the value of our passion and labor by the sociopathic greed of the people who already own 99.99% of the world.

  The fact that you know you’re not special is exactly why I think you’re so famous. You’re humble.
