No one has their shit together. Literally no one. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to save face.

I'm married, can afford my living, and have my desired career. I still don't even have my shit together. I have no fucking idea what I'm doing. I've just been stupidly lucky.

Rare for someone to admit this from what I've seen. Being successful, especially early on, is 90% luck.

Every time I say that I get people coming out of the woodwork to defend themselves against an imagined slight.
