THIS!!! people always ask me what i’m doing if im not at uni and look at me absolutely dumbfounded as if i couldn’t possibly be happy in this moment, right now, being a bartender ?? they think i haven’t thought about it by not wanting to talk about it when in reality the thought of my future consumes every second of my day. why would i ever wanna discuss something that completely gnaws away at me during polite small talk?

Never feel pressed to give an answer to a question.
Say more often I don’t know I need to think about it. You than get back to person who asked later. But that‘s important, don’t be lazy intellectually. The worst is to just say whatever pops into your mind. Nobody needs to know anything on the spot.

answering honestly when someone asks how are you
fight the instinct to hold back and keep things “light”. your friends are more willing to get real with you than you might think!

what fills your days?
asking this when meeting someone new, fun discovery process for both parties! instead of “so what do you do for work?” or for the collegiates: “what’s your major?” this question serves the choose-your-own-adventure purpose because not everyone is afforded/prefers a stable job or education. it also allows you to get to know someone better, maybe they’re going to tell you about the 200 plants they take care of, or the profound though they’ve been stuck on. or, maybe they will think you’re weird and just tell you what they do for work, which is fine too, because it also answers the question. plus, people get excited when you ask them this. it’s unconventional in those early stages, cool points awarded brethren.

remembering that everything will be DIFFERENt in a year from now anyway
every moment is fleeting. so are feelings and problems most of the time. whether life is good or bad right now won't dictate what your life will look like one year from now. everything can change! everything will change! anything can happen! everything will happen!
