i see this everywhere but i ESPECIALLY see it a ton in creative circles/careers/etc; i& #39;ve been at the same job since i graduated college 5 yrs ago (i& #39;m 26) and i& #39;m just now realizing i might wanna do something different and at first i was TERRIFIED https://twitter.com/mechapoetic/status/1391498134061256704">https://twitter.com/mechapoet...
because that meant i spent 18-26 wasting my time, doing the wrong thing, etc. etc. and i was afraid i was "running out of time" or had ALREADY run out of time and i was subject to a life of the same career...how abysmal and depressing! thank god that& #39;s not the case at all
and i finally realized this after i talked with a coworker in her mid thirties who had the same experience as me; started out like me and after a few years realized she wanted to do something different, and it didn& #39;t stop her! and now she& #39;s so happy!
the idea that it& #39;s "too late" or that you& #39;ve been "wasting time" is so untrue; you& #39;re learning and growing, figuring out what you like and don& #39;t like, and not even necessarily in a career sense! it might sound corny but every little thing you do and experience is shaping you and
helping you realize who you are! none of that time is wasted. for a lot of people, their 20s are rocky and chaotic, and i think they& #39;re supposed to be! this is the first time a lot of us are out on our own and we& #39;ve still got so much to learn! i& #39;m 26 and i& #39;m EXCITED for
where i& #39;ll be by the time i& #39;m 30! and then 40! and 50! i& #39;ve learned and grown so much during school and even more so since i graduated and have experienced life and my career on my own, through my own eyes! it should be EXCITING and i& #39;m so tired of people being so
damn morbid about it all; i don& #39;t know if there& #39;s any sustenance to this thread at all, but i really hope people stop treating 25, or even 30 like a death sentence; no one& #39;s timing you, there& #39;s no hidden rule to have things figured out by any age; that& #39;s the beauty of it all
people who think you should have things figured out by 25/30/whenever are so BORING and STAGNANT and don& #39;t realize that you never stop learning and growing and changing no matter how old you are; honestly once i realized this, i felt like i could finally relax
and that& #39;s when i finally took what was in front of me and squeezed everything i could out of it; this is all one big learning experience, and i find that so exciting
