When you heard comments about you, whether it’s true or not don’t try to defend yourself. Let them create a version of you in their head. We don’t live to correct other’s perspectives of who we are. Just live.
Adulting is nothing but getting everything done no matter how tired and broke you are, you have to get it done! Done! Done! Chasing one deadline to another and maximizing your hours is the daily routine. Sleep and rest is a luxury!

Biggest lesson I realized now is if something is stressing you out, head on it! Do it scared, do it cluelessly, do it willingly. Whatever it is, just do it! As you are in it you’ll get to know how to do it. It’s better to do something than to never do anything at all.
