Everything is cyclical and you’ll have your eras when you feel evolved, self-assured, like you’ve “figured it out” and then suddenly everything will feel confusing and uncertain. Then you’ll cycle back. And this will happen through most of your life. And it’s happening to everyone you’re jealous of.
Your time will come around, just ride the wave bb 😎 🏄♂️🤙🏼

Something about right now feels very cyclical and circular, like I’m closing a loop.
The closing of my 20s maybe. Maybe!
It’s the sensation of going back to the same well with hindsight. It always comes back, right?
Making peace with the rounds and the bends of this, it’s good I think.

Life is fucking confusing, and every want comes with a doubt.
As far as I can tell, your 20s (I’m 27) are about cobbling together a life while wondering if you should blow it all up. And then someday, hopefully, you fall in love with yourself (or something) and that love becomes a foundation for everything else.
I know people who have built things up and torn them down, people who have made irrevocable choices, people who are coasting. I want all of their lives, sometimes, because I’m sick of the choices I made. I think that’s just fear of commitment, and not taking good care of myself—but who knows, maybe I’m about to make some choices for the plot.
The people who seem to have it all figured out may be crumbling beneath the surface (me irl). The ones I trust the most know how to look around and say “there but for the grace of god go I.” You‘re never too old to let whatever you’ve been collecting slip through your fingers and choose again.

Oh my sweet Khuski... I feel you girl. Happy almost birthday!!!
You're going through a period of rapid growth- it won't always be tumultuous, and it won't last forever. From what I know about you, you're doing the work now to set yourself up for more groundedness in the future. I promise, it won't always be so chaotic. Your brain is not even done developing yet!!
Change is inevitable though, and keeping that in mind will help you a lot. One can be grounded but also willing to shift and adjust, and arguably I see that as the healthiest way to be. By the time you're my ancient age of 35 (joking), you'll have a greater sense of who you are all together. I fully believe that. When tough times come and stir things up, it won't feel so disruptive. You're in the thick of it now, but I believe in you!!
Embrace the energy of The Fool- does it have to be awful you don't know who you are? Or could this be an exciting opportuity to try new things and explore? Some things to consider...

This is kind of an anti-rec, more of a PSA.
If you haven’t heard of the marketing research company WGSN it’s worth a deep dive.
Horrifying to see that years ago, a marketing research company predicted that we’d all be into 90s and early 2000s nostalgia, nihilism, and awe/whimsy.
The scarier part, for me, is how companies that work with these firms will prey upon individuals’ sincere interests and perspectives. Some unpaid intern from WGSN is def monitoring this app lol.
I wrestle with that competing understandings that a zeitgeist will always exist; that the transmission of preferences/ideas between people is how culture is made, with also not wanting to be unconsciously influenced by a predatory system whose only goal is to make me feel like I’m less than and therefore push me to consume.
Sry I’m super red pilled this morning lol.

I love the mundane little tasks one has to accomplish just to maintain day to day existence. I do my best thinking when carrying out mindless tasks. Then I can apply the ideas later.
The order and calm that getting my errands and chores completed bestow upon my life allows me to better focus on things that may be more commonly considered hobbies, a.k.a. writing, reading, making art, etc.
Everything has meaning and beauty in it.
