i can't believe it took me 26 years

i can’t believe it took me 26 years to realise that you don’t find yourself, you create yourself.

it’s very easy to fall into the trap of i’m figuring out life but what does that actually mean?

you don’t figure something out by just spending more time thinking about it but by actually doing the work.

and here we’re not talking about doing something big and grand but the small baby steps that you choose to do every single day.

so go out there and try something new.

let your curiosity lead you and allow yourself to suck especially when you’re just starting out.

and you know down the line you won’t know how all these connect but one day you’ll realise that you found this clarity not because you figure it out all of a sudden but all these small steps that you’ve taken every single day.

and i think that is so comforting.

so if you’re new here, welcome to confessions of a 20-something where i share my raw honest thoughts about someone in their mid-20s.

if you’re someone like this or you know someone going through something very similar, you know share this video with them.

let them know they are not alone because i think you guys just found your people.
