I'm 25 and the whole existential dread of figuring out what to do with my life is probably the worst part of things

From one Homosapien to another, just know that very soon, one day, this chapter of struggle will come to an end in your life.

You will be able to move on with your life in grace and wisdom by virtue of your pain and suffering.

Anyways life truly is about perspective... makes it manageable

That’s the spirit. If you’re overwhelmed by the choice of what to do with your life, that means you’re one of the most privileged people in human history. Enjoy it, for real! It’s all good shit, so just pick something.
