I'm 23 years old and I have no idea what I'm going to do with the rest of my life……… and I'm fine with that
Can I be honest I think a huge chunk of your early adulthood is just putting the work in to recover from your childhood and learning to live with yourself and your past like your 20s are just the tutorial section of life
“I learned that just beneath the surface there’s another world, and still different worlds as you dig deeper. I knew it as a kid, but I couldn’t find the proof. It was just a feeling. There is goodness in blue skies and flowers, but another force - a wild pain and decay - also accompanies everything.”
— David Lynch

it’s easier to hold onto bad habits if you are ashamed of them constantly repeating the same pattern over and over again.

But once you forgive yourself for it and hold genuine compassion for your choices your grip can finally loosen.
