i despaired until something just fell into my lap. to be honest i think that’s how these things figure themselves out most of the time. make sure to have fun whenever you can, never feel guilty for having fun without having direction!

@maddymac

there is NO rush to figure everything out right now. you’re going to change so so much, especially during that period of time from being a teenager to being in your 20s. continue trying a whole bunch of different things & just make a list of things you actually enjoy doing. mg best piece of advice is if you can find a career your passionate about, find a career you’re good at & can make a salary you’re comfortable with. obviously, don’t go for a job that crosses all boundaries, but one you can do day by day. THEN, find hobbies that genuinely make you happy. work isn’t meant to be your whole life. it’s okay to apply yourself to a variety of different things, just make sure you fill your cup when you can !:)

I am a wo(man) of many hats. I’ve been paid to embalm people, break and train a horse, write public school science curricula, bake bread, and teach surfing. You can too! Any time someone offers you the chance to try on a new hat, do it! Think of yourself as an apprentice to all trades.

@SLUSSHYYPROOOO you're welcome. It's probably good to dip your toes in the big money makers, you need it to survive. But have fun, explore what makes you you and follow that shit like it's a religion

@marxinista

@CLEANTEETH +1 to this i am also 24 with a job and not sure what i am doing! i like what i do now so i mostly recommend finding something you can live off of that you enjoy even if you aren’t totally sure about ultimate life plans. ~40 hours a week is a lot of time in your life so it’s worth finding something you don’t loathe !

Late 20s but still don’t know what i wanna do and it’s ok

My 20s has been spent on developing myself as a grown kid outta high school becoming a young independent adult, turning 20 doesn’t have to mean that a perfect life should be sorted out for you. It means that you have more independence and capacity to forge your own life, at your own pace, even if it will take until your 30s. After all, we’re all forms of ephemeral art

Realize that you’re going to change your mind a bunch of times and that’s OK

I think right when you graduate college you’re under the impression that you need to pick a job/path and stick with it… and that’s your career! (What I thought. What many of my peers thought.) In reality as I live through my 20s: it seems that the more satisfied people have reconsidered their path, or maybe done a career switch, or applied to grad school when they never thought they would.
My brother is joining the workforce for the first time in a few months, and I just keep encouraging him to be really critical of his job and critical of his life - because I think it’s great to identify what you don’t like and go ahead and start making moves towards the next thing. Inertia will often be against you, so you have to start slowly pushing thought the molasses asap.
I also think it’s easy to become complacent in whatever you’re doing and delay change just because you’re scared. However, consider that when you talk to older people they’ve often lived so many different lives and had so many different careers and relationships and hobbies and travels…and you’re not going to have that same experience if you don’t quit and restart and shift and move and shake alot. All this to say, I think you don’t have to be so stressed out about whatever comes first after graduation because ideally it changes so so so many times.
Maybe the grass is greener if you can just be satisfied and sit still, but I wouldn’t know.

ANOTHER SPIRAL

I can’t get away from the feeling that I’m too late for everything. I recently turned 29 and I feel like I just can’t hang with anything. Finances are a mess, social life is none existent and I’m loosing it with every new job I take thinking “this 9-5 ain’t that bad.” They‘re never bad, but they don’t entice. I loose interest in thing within days.
Idk, sometimes I want to do daring things like going super into acting or a sport but, I keep feeling like if im too late to do that or that if I had actually wanted to do those things that I would have had that spark of determination when I was a kid.
