i'm graduating from my masters program this semester and have no plans yet for what will follow. this will be the first year in 23 years i haven't been in school. pretty scary stuff. but honestly i'd rather be a little afraid of the future while keeping my options wide open than have every second of my life planned out. what fun is that?

Just graduated college! Starting an internship in a month and a half that will take me all over for 6 months and i’m terrified! So far it’s been a consistent life path, but not necessarily and freeing one. But I hope there will be crazy new wrenches thrown into my life, the opportunity to try and do everything. Nothing is forever

I went back to school in 2020 to persue a career in a field I’ve wanted to be in for prob 2 decades. I went to college right out of high school but it didn’t work for me at that time, I got terrible grades and gave up despite being a high achieving straight A student before.
I just finished my program and graduated in May and started a new job at a big name firm and to say I’m a little spooked is accurate. Not finishing my degree all those years ago was a source of shame for me and I’m finding myself putting a lot of pressure on myself because the accomplishment is so personally significant.
The learning curve of a new job is always steep and feels like you’re flailing a bit, and I can only believe that new career will be that same feeling, amplified. Trying to feel confident, trust that I am in fact capable, and not like I’m about to be found out. ðŸ«
Go for it! The scary parts are required! Personal growing pains mean you're trying and expanding.

this idea of "you don't owe anyone anything" came about through the social media therapists that try to diagnose complete strangers with a multitude of issues and complexes. all it has done has made selfish people more selfish and divided us as a community.
you do not owe everyone everything, but if you consider yourself part of a community, a society, you do owe everyone something. at a base level you owe people kindness, respect (as long as they haven't lost the right to it), and basic human decency. you owe your loved ones even more.
stop being selfish and rude in the name of treating your so-called "people pleasing."
