For me, driving. Its not that driving is difficult or i’m just not able to drive. Its that there are just too many awful drivers and pedestrians you have to care about on the road.

    That “adults” are just kids that got older. Same goes for “old people”. Everyone was once a 14 year old. There is no dividing line where you suddenly become an adult, and there is no dividing line between being an adult and being old.

    We’re all born, and we live a life of days, months years, decades… it’s just you and your one, single life. You’re always going to be you.

    Make this one life count. Don’t wait. Don’t procrastinate. Make shit happen. You’ll regret it if you don’t.

      I’m 28 so not old by any means, but at this point I have an established career with a lot of responsibility and a number of people working under me.

      Very regularly I sit in my office and wonder who the hell decided to hire me for this job. Like I’m just some dumb kid! Obviously it’s not true, and imposter syndrome is a hell of a drug.

        Definitely. I think imposter syndrome is basically the same phenomenon.

        I used to think there was this Council of Smart People running the world and keeping the nuclear weapons from accidentally launching and the planes from crashing and the electricity on and the bridges from collapsing.

        It can’t just be me and all the absolute idiots I grew up with now running the world. That can’t be right. Oh, Jesus…oh no.

      What I learned in my years of working with younger and older adults is that most people have no idea what they are doing. Sone are convinced they do, some pretend they do, but overall it’s just a lot of whatever.

      If more people realized this, life would be a lot more simple. I never grew up. I just got older.
