I was 27 when I did, You are ok, do the things you need to go in that direction, but don't be hard on yourself, it will happen when you are ready. Enjoy the time with your family (if you like them) because when you are on your own you may miss it. Good luck.

Actually moving is a pain but I'm glad to do it at this stage when I'm more confident in myself. Sounds like you want to do it and you prob learned some things from when it didn't work out in your 20s. So you're better placed for success this time around

I’m about to turn 30 and idk if my 21 year old self would approve of where I’m at—but my 6 year old self sure as hell would!! I think a lot of life is finding your way back to Little You.
Being 21 is so so hard, and in college you’re first starting to see that you can’t judge your progress based on other people. Even though that’s how you were taught to judge yourself up until this point. The things you want now probably won’t matter to you in a few years, and for me that would have sounded terrifying at 21. But that doesn’t mean the things you want now aren’t important.
You can think of it in terms of tattoos. If you get a tattoo at 16 it’s not because you know it will represent you always and forever—it’s to commemorate a moment, a feeling of boldness you wanted to wear proudly. And down the line you don’t look at it with regret, but a softness for that younger part of you. Feel your feelings fully in this moment! Be bold with what you care about! Every age is special.
Practical advice:
Try to listen to your body and not your head. Do I actually like how I feel spending time with this person? Am I going through the motions of this hobby because I think it will service something else? Does xyz come naturally to me, or does it feel forced? No action needed. This exercise isn’t about flipping your life upside down, just take notice of how your body feels in certain situations. Start to notice when you’re in fight or flight versus happy and free. Find the ease and follow it

i went to community college, worked for a year, went to a 4 year university, took a break for my mental health and worked for a year, finished school, was unemployed for a year, now i finally have a big girl job at 26 and i still feel like a child. it's whatever don't worry about it just do your thing. don't force yourself to do stuff you're not ready for and don't hold yourself back if you're ready to move on. Just do your thang

I love Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson is really a comedy genius so when I heard about this movie I was excited. I saw it yesterday with maybe 15 people, scattered in a small theater late in the afternoon in a multiplex packed with people there to see Lilo and Stitch and Karate Kid.
It was such a good movie, fans of "I Think You Should Leave" will enjoy the uncomfortable awkwardness of it. It was dark at times, but it had some really funny parts, some of the story was surrealist at times which I enjoyed, there were some really visually interesting shots and the music/soundtrack was good.
When it was over, me and my girlfriend were discussing what we just watched and it made me think about trying to make friends as an older person and how hard it is to try and seem cool or interesting to someone else that you are just getting to know. We talked about the mistakes of our youth and how we are all awkward and lack self awareness at times. Sometimes we are just performing, putting an exaggerated version our "best self" on display in hopes of companionship, acceptance, love, to feel like being part of a tribe or family, when we should be more humble and just let it come out organically. We should show our true self in the beginning, not feeling embarrassed or feel shame about our passions, they are what make us who we are. And if people don't like it, or judge you, they are not for you, and that is ok. Everyone is not for everybody. Be true to yourself and you will find your people, even if it takes longer than you want it to.
Anyway, the movie was good, like what I said above, it might not be for everyone, but give it a chance and you might like it.

I'm playing Doom 2016 on the Switch, I saw there was a collector edition but it was $100 dollars so I passed on it. Nintendo had a sale and I got all the Doom games (except Eternal) for $20. I didn't even know it existed. It is really fun. I don't like that it's a download since I like to have physical games but it was worth $20 to re-buy games I already own in other systems. Anyway... It's fun. FYI, if you collect physical games, DON'T buy the new Doom: Dark Ages physical edition, it is just a downloader on a disk, you won't be able to play it unless you have Internet or in 10 years when the servers are not working anymore.

The song is really nice, it's very chill and haunting. I really like the video, it is stop motion claymation and has a cool premise
