Much of your adulthood will be spent dodging miserable people who think they're smarter than you because you're hopeful when they're not. They mistake your strength of spirit for naivete, and preach what has made them despair like it's wisdom. Everything is spiritual warfare.
I think ppl get offended when you aren't ashamed of things that they were taught to be ashamed of. They resent you for not caring what everybody thinks.
Shoot all shots! Career shots. Romantic shots. Friendship shots. Relocation shots. All of it! Take the risk. You owe it to yourself to pursue something new and embrace the possibility of getting exactly what you want. This is your confirmation.
Go for it!
at some point in your mid 20-30s, life will give you a 2nd chance. a chance to heal from past wounds, break old cycles, rebuild your confidence, fulfil small those promises and bounce back & when that moment comes, pls don’t waste it, see it through cos it changes EVERYTHING.
