i'm graduating from my masters program this semester and have no plans yet for what will follow. this will be the first year in 23 years i haven't been in school. pretty scary stuff. but honestly i'd rather be a little afraid of the future while keeping my options wide open than have every second of my life planned out. what fun is that?

I went back to school in 2020 to persue a career in a field I’ve wanted to be in for prob 2 decades. I went to college right out of high school but it didn’t work for me at that time, I got terrible grades and gave up despite being a high achieving straight A student before.
I just finished my program and graduated in May and started a new job at a big name firm and to say I’m a little spooked is accurate. Not finishing my degree all those years ago was a source of shame for me and I’m finding myself putting a lot of pressure on myself because the accomplishment is so personally significant.
The learning curve of a new job is always steep and feels like you’re flailing a bit, and I can only believe that new career will be that same feeling, amplified. Trying to feel confident, trust that I am in fact capable, and not like I’m about to be found out. 🫠
Go for it! The scary parts are required! Personal growing pains mean you're trying and expanding.

I’m graduating college soon as well as for real starting graduate school in the next few months. I also have to move to a new apartment 😅
I’m trying to stay focused on what I think is important to me, while also trying to chip away at these long terms goals.
It’s suuuuper daunting right now and I’m nervous that I will get too overwhelmed with all the other stuff that’s also going on in my life
I've been trying to remind myself that the time will pass no matter what and that has been helping to ground me. Hopefully springtime weather will help me get back outside more

just wrapped my MBA program so ya boy has two degrees now (already scheming how to get a third). missed my grad ceremony unfortunately because I got COVID so I’m 0/2 now on actually attending my graduation ceremonies because of COVID.
ramping up my job hunt which is like pulling teeth to me but I had an interview today that I feel like went ok so we up
about to move into a muuuuch smaller apartment and excited for the part of town I’ll be in but also worried about managing the downsize but ready to be out of my current spot.
overall feeling very grateful for the new people i have in my life rn and the place i’m in, just ready to be settled for a bit after this period of change ends.

this idea of "you don't owe anyone anything" came about through the social media therapists that try to diagnose complete strangers with a multitude of issues and complexes. all it has done has made selfish people more selfish and divided us as a community.
you do not owe everyone everything, but if you consider yourself part of a community, a society, you do owe everyone something. at a base level you owe people kindness, respect (as long as they haven't lost the right to it), and basic human decency. you owe your loved ones even more.
stop being selfish and rude in the name of treating your so-called "people pleasing."

if one more person tells me to turn one of my hobbies into a business i'm gonna go berserk. is nothing sacred in this late stage capitalist hellscape?

oscar wilde said, "If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward."
i remind myself of this quote every time i get jealous of my friends who have it all figured out.
