This is for every twenty something struggling to stay focused while dealing with a sense of uncertainty that plagues you almost every day.
You have got to trust in yourself, and that you will get through whatever dark times you are facing right now. Things get very stark once you graduate from college. And you will face moments where you question yourself, examining yourself down to the quantum level.
Are you running after the right things? Are certain people good for you? Or, for that matter, are you good for those certain someones, or for anyone at all? What if you were never good at stuff to begin with?
These are the thoughts that assault us, but we suppress them, because we can’t let others know that we are scared as hell.
I mean how could we? If we don’t have good photos and experiences to post on social media, we often assume it’s better to remain silent.
This is mostly because millennials are, according to older generations, lazy and self-entitled. They are not prepared for life’s challenges. And while these statements hold kernels of truth, they aren’t the end all and be all of the millennial work ethic.
Entropy is real, in both the physical world and the emotional world.
If you accept that things are always going to be this bad, you won’t find yourself being surprised when things become even worse. And that’s a sad way to live.
Rather, acknowledge, understand and embrace your emotions. All emotions are equally valid, which means that feeling overwhelmed is just as legitimate as feeling happy or confident.
