Glad to hear you are of sound mind at 22. I sure wasn't anywhere near that.
But trust me, you will change a lot still in the next decade of your life, and it will likely be for the better, not saying you're "bad" now or anything, but you have a lot of positive growth to still look forward to. The future sounds pretty exciting for you with where you are in life right now.
True. I plan to have my doctorate by the next decade of my life too haha I actually do have my shit together and planned out :o)
That's pretty impressive for 22.
At 22 I was done College but completely directionless anyways. It was definitely my darkest era in life. Emotionally unstable and unaware, bludgeonly opinionated on everything even if i knew nothing about the topic. I was a disaster and I don't even know why anyone liked me.
Yeah college isnt a solution to everything, honestly. I used to be very ... unaware and immaturely opinionated when I was like 15-16 but I stopped that shit pretty quickly because I realized how ignorant I seemed. Im mentally ill, yes, but working on it and seeking help. Im far from perfect and I have my demons but Im always moving forward. Glad to hear youve improved too.
College eventually became my solution at least, 10 years later I'm still working a career thanks to that diploma. I was just unmotivated and too depressed to continue my life forward.
Depression is a royal bitch. If I wasnt in a career where I helped other people I would have seriously killed myself by now because I derive my value from my personal ability to benefit the world. I still feel very unmotivated at times and I frequently wish I wasnt alive, but medication helps. ---
