When you start making good money, save it. Especially in the beginning. Save as much as you can. You'll desire things. New car, new watch, designer clothes to show the world you made it. And dumb philosophies will try to justify it. YOLO, life is short. Don't pay attention. Don't change anything. Save for a few years. And one day you'll notice, the urgency is gone. The anxiety... gone. You go to a restaurant, and you stop looking at the right side of the menu. You plan a holiday and you don't wait 3 weeks for cheap flights. Someone made you an offer that doesn't feel right, and you say no without thinking twice. That's what happens when you overcome instant gratification. It will give you peace to move at your own pace. A little patience, that's all you need. And it will give you something that no material object can ever match: a calm nervous system.
pleaseeee make ur own money and leave your parental home, never get married or have kids (unless you can actually afford it mentally and financially) travel as much as you can and stop explaining everything you do to your parents, make yourself as happy as you can.
i think long-term stress changes people quietly. you become less expressive, less excited, more tired, more detached, until one day you barely recognize the version of yourself that existed before survival mode.
you don’t realize how much your environment affects your mental state until you finally spend time somewhere that feels calm and your body stops feeling tense for once
A friend to everybody is usually loyal to nobody, and I don’t move like that. I value genuine connections, real intentions, and people who know how to stand solid without switching sides for validation, attention, or convenience. Loyalty will always matter to me.✍️
My professor used to say, ‘Everything is hard until it’s not.’ I didn’t understand it back then, but I understand it now. The beginning is always the hardest part, but with consistency, the difficulty gradually loses its grip.
NO ME GUSTA ADMITIRLO, PERO TENER ESTABILIDAD ECONÓMICA ELIMINA EL 99% DEL ESTRÉS. EL DINERO ES UNA DE LAS COSAS MÁS IMPORTANTES DE LA VIDA Y NO DEBERÍAMOS FINGIR QUE NO LO ES.
