Someone said the equivalent would've been a song from 1939 still being a mainstream hit in 1983 and it rewired my entire perspective on how insane this actually is.
i hate how social media makes people forget that life has stages. it's normal to be broke, to have broke friends or partners and yes it's even normal to be unemployed at times. these are phases we all go through.
some people are lucky enough to find good jobs at a young age and afford a certain lifestyle. others take longer and that's perfectly okay. we need to stop comparing ourselves and start accepting our journey. i just want all of us to be at peace with where we are in life while still working and striving for better.

painful truth: u MUST develop a strong opinion of yourself, because if u don't, somebody else will do it for u. and trust me... some ppl will reduce your entire existence to their mood, their jealousy, their insecurity, or one mistake u made three years ago. don't let strangers become the author of your identity. damn...jeeezzz .
might delete idk but
it's the "everyone wants to save the world but no one wants to help mom do the dishes" thing to me. they want to be hero of the day saving women in dark streets but never tackle the everyday things/ppl (incl themselves) contributing to rape culture
A college swimmer caught red-handed assaulting an unconscious girl behind a dumpster gets sentenced to just 3 months in jail because the judge "didn't want to ruin his Olympic potential." Once again, a man's hypothetical career is worth more than a woman's actual life.
