Gurl I started as an insurance man for 4 years. Learned a lot. But got really good in photography - got insanely lucky and could make that my job then. Went from photography towards art direction. Been travelling the world for massive brands for like 6 years. That also burnt me out... did a 9 months break. Then started as marketing & communications specialist for a Pharma corporation here in Vienna and bro... I get u! I just left after 9 months. Now starting as a Social Media specialist in fintech within the crypto space which will be so so different from anything before. But the list will go on...
I'm 28. I dropped out of high school with 16. No perspectives. I never studied. YOU can build ANY life you want!!! Trust me! Do what you like and where your skills are. If that's a flower shop or walking dogs - then that be it! And if it doesn't work out after a few years then you'll always be ready for your next step. u got this! <333

I just didnโt take the straight route. I dropped out of college twice, and graduated when I was 25. Then took years off before going to grad school. Even then, it was years of trying things before I found my niche. Iโm now 34 and solid in my career.
Honestly, life is long and it makes total sense to me to want to shift when you are more sure of who you are. Go for it! Why not! Take a crazy chance!

At 24 I am slowly beginning the transition to a vastly different career. The barrier to entry for this path is much higher than the one I'm on, but there are two things I'm sure of that keep me going:
1. We are far from the only people doing this around our age
2. One of the most common truths I'm told every day is that I am still young. You and I will look back on this time in our lives one day and laugh at how we thought the end was closing in.
You have a bright and lengthy future ahead of you, so go for it and do it for YOU! I, too, am feeling the burnout from job applications and the market as a whole right now, so I'm right there with you. We've got this! <3

Man when I was 21 I thought I had it all. Had friends I would go clubbing with every weekend. Was in a happy relationship with a woman who I thought was THE one. My artistic career in college was taking off, I was getting gallery calls left and right, people were recognizing my hard work and skills. Lived in a dogcrap apartment but still made enough to live on my own and bought the car I still drive today (5 years later) for $3K in cash.
Turns out things can change, you grow out of friend groups, you move back home from college, good relationships can still fall apart, your art career has ups and downs and you donโt get the amazing job immediately after you graduate. Life is never simple. Tomorrow is never promised, sometimes things work out sometimes despite how hard you try, they donโt. The biggest lesson I learned back then though was itโs ok to not have everything figured out. Iโm still figuring things out at 26, and Iโm content with that.

Don't. There's certain things we achieved in medicine or in food safety thanks to research and technologies. We tend to forget how horrible life looked like for MANY just 100-150 years ago, simply because things like food safety didn't exist. Just go with organic real milk from happy local cows instead. <3

A) Weirdly every human feels the needle pain kinda differently because our nerves are never placed completely the same but
B) in general do NOT start with your back - I have lots of ink on my back. All along the spine and upper back. Upper back was the only tattoo I passed out from. lol
C) Anything where u have tons of nerves (armpits, around your nipples, back, neck...) = massive pain.
D) Anything where u have thin skin and bones underneath (shinbone, ribs...) = massive pain.

That shit slaps down your throat like no d*ck ever did before huneyyy trust me!!
-brioche
-heavy cream
-matcha powder
-pwodered sugar
-strawberries
-coco powder or coco nibs on top
The whipped cream is super easy (or u just buy a spray bottle if u feel lazy, but self-made is satisfying and tastes so much better): Just put heavy cream, matcha powder and some powdered sugar in a bottle and whip it until she ready to be slapped on that brioche. Don't whip too much or u'll have matcha butter (honestly should we try that too???)
K byeeeeeee
