20–30 Years Old Is The Tutorial Phase, Don’t F*ck It Up
This letter is going to piss some people off because it’s for a specific type of person.
I’m going to sound like an inconsiderate asshole to most people but that’s the only way I can get the severity of this situation across.
With that said, consider nuance turned off as of right now.
The people who get angry at the brutal honesty here are often those who have pretty terrible lives. They haven’t grown as a person past the age of 20 to 25.
They are the people who never realized this:
The best way to make the most of your 20s is to make them your worst.
You see, you have two options:
- Use your 20s to become who you were meant to be.
- Repeat the same 6 months for the entirety of your life.
If you don’t nearly max out your potential in your 20s, you can simply observe society and see that you become like everyone else.
You get stuck in a loop of anxiety, overwhelm, and attempting to live your last peak experience. You go to the same bars and raves. You play the same video games. You have the best experience of your life because you’re old enough to do new things, but not wise enough to realize that those are the lowest peaks one…
