everything feels so pointless
hard to break that mindset when im 25 and have never had more than $1k, have no solid career prospect, and the government can just make my existence illegal any day
no amount of personal achievement can fix that
i at least wish i could punish the instigators

Relatability does numbers I suppose. Shit, I almost reposted it myself.
might attempt uni for botany later but its scary going back (i did some junior college) and may not even be possible bc even with financial aid uni is usually unaffordable
people treat college as this standard thing and i don’t fucking get it
and the thing is i know im really fucking good at teaching myself stuff i guarantee i could teach myself to a pro level on any subject im interested in
but nooooo employers gotta have the fancy fucking paper
I went from drowning in student debt and credit card payments in my 20s (with no career prospects) to FIRE in my 40s.
I know it doesn't feel like it, but if you keep learning and growing, life really does unfold over time. It gets better. Even when the world is burning.
Getting older is a wonderful adventure. It just seems like it takes forever in your 20s. But at some point you will look back and understand your life arc with greater clarity. That doesn't make it easier in the moment. But please trust, it will get better.
