the secret to being a private person is to overshare dumb shit so people think you are an open book but then not tell them any of the important details of your life
You're scared to take a 4 years course because your 28 and by the time you finish, you'll be 32. Whether you take the course or not, in 4 years time you'll still be 32, so why not be 32 doing something you love?
get back into it. whatever it is; the gym, your art, your studies, that book you haven’t finished, that project you shelved. whatever you weren’t ready for then; you’re ready for now.
Best career advice that I can give: Don't ever attach yourself to a person, a place, a company, an organization or a project. Attach yourself to a mission, a calling, a purpose ONLY. That's how you keep your power & your peace. It's worked pretty well for me thus far.
