I am a victim of the pressure that comes with being in your 20s. I know what it feels like to see your mates do way better than you in life while it feels like you are lost; like you are in a mist. It's not easy at all.

But that's not my reason for writing this.

Daily, young people send me dms, ranting about how they are yet to find their purpose. And when they do, they are attacked by toxic family members. And for some, no family members at all.

So, it's like being lost in a jungle. You have no helper, no direction, nothing.

You are left alone to wander in this wild forest called life. Burdened by the pressure of time, yet, you try to be strong, with hopes that things will be better. First off, I'd like to say that you are not alone. Please, hang on and be consistent at what you do, things will work.

Now, the crux of this thread, is the need to know what you are doing at this stage. Yes, you are confused, but that does not give room for irresponsibility.

Let me share a story.

Last year, I had a discussion with a man that is over 50 years of age. He told me his story.

He had made mistakes and all. He was once rich but had no plans. This man cried in my very presence, and I was touched but I had to tell him the brutal truth, he was 100% responsible for his mistakes: Procreating around, marrying so many wives, spending recklessly etc.

He was fully responsible and I spelled it out to him in clear terms. Long story short, the man is my father. I vowed that day, never to make the same mistake.
This might look cliché, but being confused at this age, should not be an excuse for carelessness, rather carefulness.

Do not use your confusion as an excuse to post trash on social media. It will come back to haunt you. Got some money? Invest and save. Of course, spend when you have to.
I might not be in the right office to do this because, I am still struggling myself, but it's never too early

You do not want to tell "had I known" stories to your kids. I have heard one too many in my life and trust me, they don't sound good.

Ask for advice. Reflect. Pray. It's ok to be confused, but do not let it be an excuse for irresponsible.

To clarify, this is not to put anyone under unneeded pressure, you are doing perfectly fine. Point is, you can do better, be better, for tomorrow's sake.
